Tasting Notes

95-97
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru, which comes from purchased fruit, has a little more complexity than the Charmes-Chambertin, perhaps a touch more mineralité and florality. The palate is very well balanced with a sensual texture, beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity. Gentle grip towards the finish, I admire this fans out and makes an impression. Classy.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 20 Jan 22
Supple and seamless, the 2020 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru (négoce) bursts with aromas of orange rind, cassis, peonies, sweet spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with melting tannins and an ample core of fruit, it concludes with a long, perfumed finish.
