Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Mar 14
The 2011 Griotte-Chambertin wafts from the glass with sweet, perfumed aromatics and a generally reserved, understated personality. More cerebral and elusive than the Clos St.-Jacques, the Griotte is all about sensuality and grace. Bright red berries, flowers and sweet spices lift from the airy, weightless finish in this impeccable Burgundy.

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 14
Bright, dark red. Very ripe aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and spices, complicated by soil-driven notes of porcini and truffle. At once silky and energetic, with youthfully imploded flavors of blackberry and cassis. Distinctly darker and tighter than the Clos Saint-Jacques and much more backward and less perfumed on the aftertaste. This will need longer in bottle to reveal itself.
