Lucien Le Moine Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru 2016 (94 BH)
“This is restrained to the point of being almost timid yet it is also exceptionally pretty with a really lovely nose of red and dark currant, earth and a hint of spicy tea. There is fine richness to the beautifully textured and intense medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a very serious, dusty, mouth coating and quite firmly structured finish that is presently markedly austere but not hard. This is also going to require an extended snooze in a cool cellar.”

Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru
Griotte-Chambertin is one of the most elusive Grand Crus in Burgundy; it’s the smallest Grand Cru in Gevrey at only 3 hectares in size. The vineyard faces north-east, which means the vines are not fully exposed to the morning sunshine - this contributes to the fresher, less masculine style of its wines.
