Tasting notes
The 2021 Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet, demonstrating a smidgin more purity and elegance than the preceding Mazis, the oak here well-knit into the red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with finely sculpted tannins, very harmonious with a svelte finish lingering temptingly in the mouth. What a beautiful 2021 in the making.

The 2021 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is especially good, bursting with aromas of red berries, cherries and plums mingled with peony, rose petals and spices. Full-bodied, supple and seamless, with an unctuous core of lively, perfumed fruit framed by melting tannins, it concludes with a long and perfumed finish. In its entirely different style, it's every bit as good as its 2020 counterpart. As readers may remember, it derives from a tiny enclave surrounded on three sides by Domaine Fourrier's parcel.
The 2021 Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru is very pure on the nose with blueberry and raspberry fruit, wilted violet petals, flecks of Valrona chocolate developing with time. The palate is equally quite opulent in context of the vintage yet well controlled with a harmonious, cashmere finish of tart black fruit that lingers in the mouth. Very classy and seductive.
