2021 Joseph Roty Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru 750ml

The 2021 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru is especially good, bursting with aromas of red berries, cherries and plums mingled with peony, rose petals and spices. Full-bodied, supple and seamless, with an unctuous core of lively, perfumed fruit framed by melting tannins, it concludes with a long and perfumed finish. In its entirely different style, it's every bit as good as its 2020 counterpart. As readers may remember, it derives from a tiny enclave surrounded on three sides by Domaine Fourrier's parcel. 96pts, William Kelly - The Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A pleasing crimson, softer in style than the Mazy, as indeed is the bouquet. Soft rich strawberries. Possibly more at the front than the back, this wine is close to being the opposite of Mazy. Then an attractive little touch of fruit returns behind. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Nov 2023. 94pts, Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy
