Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 19
The 2017 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is complex and quite cerebral on the nose: boysenberry, fig, crushed strawberry and touches of graphite are all beautifully defined and unfurling with every swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. This feels grippy and dense. Veins of liquorice and fig appear towards the finish that fans out with confidence. Very impressive but just maybe...the Clos Saint-Jacques has the upper hand this year?
