Joseph Drouhin Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 St Helena Dried mushroom on the nose

Dried mushroom on the nose

This excellent French wine pairs perfectly with steak and other grilled meats

even after one year in foudre and an additional six months in concrete to polish the tannins

inviting bouquet

but also deeper iron notes and a hint of roast beef

Joseph Drouhin Griottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2021 St Helena Dried mushroom on the noseGriotte Chambertin is always cause for reflexion: the aromas are complex and subtle, with hints of cherry liqueur, preserved cherry, fine leather, nutmeg. When the wine matures, there are hints of truffle and venison. The flavours are also arresting in their own way and the tannins, although present, are never aggressive or coarse. Long and persistent on the palate, with a glorious aftertaste.
