Joseph Drouhin Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 St Helena Elegant and lean per normal

Elegant and lean per normal

though it will have some longevity for sure

It is clean and elegant with the marked floral and fruity notes that are typical of this grape variety

but also deeper iron notes and a hint of roast beef

even after one year in foudre and an additional six months in concrete to polish the tannins

Joseph Drouhin Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 St Helena Elegant and lean per normalGriotte Chambertin is always cause for reflexion: the aromas are complex and subtle, with hints of cherry liqueur, preserved cherry, fine leather, nutmeg. When the wine matures, there are hints of truffle and venison. The flavours are also arresting in their own way and the tannins, although present, are never aggressive or coarse. Long and persistent on the palate, with a glorious aftertaste.
