The 2014 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru has a tightly wound bouquet with hints of raspberry coulis and violet, light for a Griotte, but demonstrating clarity and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well-pitched acidity, linear at first, but gently fanning out towards the tender finish with a sustained saline aftertaste. It has not quite evolved the exuberance of a Griotte-Chambertin yet, however, there is impressive tension and intensity all the way through. - Neal Martin (28-04-2016)
An expressive, cherry- and raspberry-flavored red, wrapped in a layer of smoke, vanilla and toasted spice. Intense, with assertive tannins, but the elements come together on the expansive finish. Firm now, gaining suppleness with air and showing excellent potential. Best from 2022 through 2045. 41 cases imported. — BS (05/2017)
(from 50-year-old vines on pure limestone; vinified with 50% whole clusters): Pale, bright red. Alluring aromas of musky raspberry and crushed rock. Pure silk on the palate, conveying an ineffable light touch to the flavors of raspberry and saline minerality. A wine of great class and energy, finishing with noble tannins and mouthfilling perfume. It's hard to find Gevrey dirt here; in fact, Saouma referred to this stunning wine as "Les Amoureuses-Chambertin."- Stephen Tanzer (01/2016)
