Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Domaine Robert Groffier 2012

Tasting Notes

(100% whole-cluster vinification, with tiny grapes): Deep ruby-red. Sexy musky black raspberry and a whiff of game on the nose. Silky, thick and brooding, with a positive medicinal aspect to the concentrated, sweet flavors of blueberry, licorice and violet. Shows the creaminess of 80-year-old vines and really fills the mouth with flavor. Finishes with serious but very suave tannins and outstanding length. The whole-cluster vinification helped to preserve the coldness of the terroir, noted Nicolas Groffier. Broad and complete grand cru.
