2024 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru, Domaine Des Chézeaux

Now farming 1.3 hectares, Charles was as chuffed as I was to see a decent number of barrels with Griotte marked on the side; a rare sight indeed in such a stingy vintage. But, whilst nature was stingy with her volumes, she was at times very generous when dishing out quality, and here is one of her finest examples. This is beautifully lifted, with the bright, fresh, almost cool fruited black cherry fragrance that immediately seduces the nose and palate. This is a wine to sink into, full of texture and luxury, whilst remaining poised and refined. A cultured wine, with a label that matches its evident class. Drink from 2033
