Tasting notes
Good medium red. Strawberry and rose petal on the nose. At once dense and brisk, displaying a penetrating quality to its seamless, fine-grained flavors of red fruits and orange zest. Wonderfully taut and energetic but also fine-grained and suave. Less saline today than the Clos Saint-Jacques but boasts terrific fruit and mineral extension on the long, savory finish.

Dark red. Reticent but very pure aromas of cherry, mint, menthol and minerals. Wonderfully suave and floral in the mouth, conveying outstanding finesse and inner-mouth perfume to its savory, sharply delineated red berry flavors. This struck me as more like Musigny than a Gevrey grand cru. The extremely long finish boasts superb clarity and spicy/floral lift."More a perfume than a wine," notes Fourrier.
The 2014 Griottes Chambertin Grand Cru has a very intense bouquet with maraschino, blueberry and violets blossoming in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe black fruit, blueberry and a hint of balsamic, leading to a quite a structured and dense finish that just needs a touch more finesse. I think that will develop with time. Superb.
