Reviews

The 2012 Griotte-Chambertin is pure silk on the palate. Sweet red cherries, rose petals, mint, wild flowers, spices and hard candy blossom in a super-refined, polished Burgundy. This is classic Griotte in its ethereal aromatics, layered fruit and weightless personality. Now you see it, now you don't. A wine of quintessential minimalism, the Griotte is a mesmerizing beauty.
The 2012 Domaine Fourrier Griotte-Chambertin is another stunning wine in the making, soaring from the glass in an pure and perfumed constellation of red and black cherries, gamebirds, very complex, chalky minerality, woodsmoke, a nice touch of fresh herbs, cocoa and a very discreet base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and very sappy at the core, with excellent soil signature, great focus and backend energy, silky tannins and great nascent complexity on the very long and very elegant finish. A beautiful example of the vintage. (Drink between 2025-2075) 96+
