2023 Griotte-Chambertin, Domaine des Chezeaux

Wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet, minty berries, orange zest, rose petals and spices, the 2023 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a lively core of fruit, powdery tannins and a saline finish. Cool and charming, it's sensual, perfumed style will render it accessible young. ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-30-2025

The 2023 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from 1.3 hectares of the climat - half its acreage. The bouquet is beautifully dfined, with black cherry, blueberry and violet scents all blossoming in the glass. Fresh and sapid, the palate is medium-bodied with succulent, ripe tannins and a keen line of acidity. There is superb structure and grip on the finish. This will need time to reach its plateau. ~ (95) Neal Martin, Vinous 11-1-2024

Once again there is a certain restrained quality to the perfumed, airy and beautifully layered nose of black cherry liqueur, kirsch, spice and violet. The super-sleek, intense and strikingly textured medium-bodied flavors possess more density and power while displaying outstanding length on the compact and decidedly austere finale that goes on and on. This is terrific but make no mistake, it's a wine that's going to require extended keeping. ~ (95) Allen Meadows, Burghound 1-10-2025
