A tiny, superbly-positioned Grand Cru, which rubs shoulders with Le Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, Clos de Beze and Chapelle-Chambertin. The name 'Griotte' suggests morello cherries, and the wine's character is indeed led by concentrated cherry aromas and flavours, lent nuance by subtle leather, nutmeg, truffle and game notes. The tannins are suave and full of finesse, and the flavours persist gloriously on the palate.
