Scores and tasting notes
The 2015 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru has a beautiful bouquet, very pure and refined with blueberry, raspberry and cold stone aromas, just a distant hint of sea spray in the background. They palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, great depth and harmony, a gentle grip in the mouth with a precise black cherry and blueberry finish that just needs a little more persistence to come through. Give this 4-5 years in bottle to see it at full flight.
