Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru

BACKGROUND

This is the estate’s only Grand Cru wine. The vineyard is also the smallest of the Grand Cru Gevrey-Chambertin wines. Not surprisingly, it’s also one of the most highly reputed Grand Cru vineyards. There are only 5 owners of Griotte-Chambertin rows.

TASTING NOTES

A connoisseur’s wine. Super sophisticated and complex. Ripe red cherries, blackberries, cassis, and spices. Tannins that start with a seductive silkiness and build to power. Perfect acidity. Exceptional finish. One of the most elegant and very best red wines. Period.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Beef Tenderloin. Lamb chops. Duck breast with cherry sauce. Cheeses, such as Morbier and Chaource. Any food with mushrooms or truffles.
