Griotte Chambertin Grand Cru

Smaller grand cru of Gevrey-Chambertin, its name does not come from its aromas, but rather from the small stones and pebbles called "crais-criottes" which are found abundantly on the surface.

Tasting

In its youth, it develops aromas of red fruits with subtle spicy nuances, sometimes liquorice. They will evolve towards notes of tobacco, light truffle, sweet spices and undergrowth. Always a beautiful structure and texture on the palate with a suppleness that accompanies all the delicate, complex and persistent flavors.

Food/wine pairing

It goes well with red meats, big game and mature and strong cheeses.
