Les Griottes

Domaine Ponsot

Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2007

I always loved griottes it is undeniably a Chambertin but it is more perfumed and a touch lighter than its illustrious neighbors. Silky red fruit and spices, super long burn totally at its plateau. Great wine. — 4 years ago

La Réserve du Château Brouilly Gamay 2018

Rather dark color. Open nose, elegant melting black cherry bigarot, morello cherries, with floral and herbaceous notes. The mouth is fine with many nuances and finesse. An elegant Brouilly done for aging. it should be delicious in 2.3 years.

Robe plutot sombre. Nez ouvert, elegant melants cerise noirs bigarot, griottes, avec des notes florales et herbacées. La bouche est fines aux nombreuses nuances tout en finesse. Un Brouilly plein d’elegance taillé pour la garde. A goûter dans 2,3 ans.

Ruby red. More a cherry cola candied nose. Delicious savoury palate of M+ intensity. I found myself taking sip after sip. Ended up buying a bottle. Expensive for a Griottes. — 6 years ago

Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy

Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2011

Belle bouteille, producteur méconnu mais qui gagne à l'être. Au jeu de la comparaison, on pourrait dire que le fruit manque un peu de pureté... cerise et griottes. il y a un léger coté fermier, animal. La bouche est dense et il y a une belle longueur. — 8 years ago

Campolieti Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Corvina Blend 2017

Nice Italian wine. Red fruits (strawberries, sour cherries), vanilla / chocolate aging notes. Floral aromas even subtle but which should develop with a few years in the cellar. The acidity is still lively and the tannins just rounded. Should be better in two years.

Jolie vin italien. Fruits rouges (fraises, griottes), notes d’élevage vanillées/chocolatées. Des arômes floreaux encore subtiles mais qui devraient se développer avec quelques années en cave. L’acidité est encore vive et les tanins justes arrondis. Devrait être meilleurs dans deux ans.

Hello Romain. Si je peux me permettre, valpolicella, ce sont des vins avec comme cépage principal le Corvina. Pas sur qu'ils aient le droit au Nebbiolo sur l'appellation !

Les Feusselottes Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2011

Surprise... un autre 2011 qui performe admirablement bien. Un chambolle au parfum charmeur de cerises, griottes et d’épices. Il y a un côté herbal et floral assez présent aussi. C’est complexe et c’est fin. Bonne longueur. J’adore ! — 6 years ago

Les Impenitents Javernières Morgon Gamay 2018

The colour is deep for a Bojo. Nice Aromas of red fruits, some cherries in particular, floral hints. Nice acidity, on the medium plus bodied palate that shows some power with very generous fruit and a lengthy delicious finish. Not a typical light Gamay, much better. 89-90

Couleur foncée pour un Bojo. Nez de fruits rouges, griottes entre autres, floral et très agréable. Belle tension et une certaine puissance en bouche, fruit mur et généreux avec une finale savoureuse. Ne fait pas Gamay du tout, très bien. 89-90

Domaine Duroche

Aux Etelois Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2013

From magnum. Had it next to the stylistically similar Fourrier Gevrey VV, but this was the better wine for me - it had a little more depth and texture. Started of similarly reductive, but quickly opened up to scents of roses, intense red cherry, and smoky insence. The palate's velvety, mix of red and dark fruits, rich but offers lots of freshness with its crisp acidity. Minerality plays second fiddle at the moment, but is evident in the long spicy finish. I bet this was how it looked like when it was first bottled, so time can only make it better. 1er level for sure!

NB: From WH - This plot is located on the southern side of Griotte-Chambertin alongside the Claude Dugat plot and below the Duroché plot of Griottes-Chambertin. It is quite strange that this vineyard has been classified as village as it’s located so close to the Grand Crus.

@Ceccherini Cristiano Got that write up from Winehog - just for my reference. Aux Etelois, I've only had a couple of times. All Duroche. I reckon it's got the concentration and length to be a lesser 1er each time, but I believe this has much to do with producer. Same as Griotte I guess. It does have the reputation of being a lesser GC, but I reckon in the right hands... It's quite consistent. Same as Latricierws. Producer producer producer! Hahaha.

@Aaron Tan
I 100% agree
I just wanted to mentioned too how important is the terroir
No producer can make an excellent wine out of a bad parcel in any vineyard
I recall Hubert De Montille saying in Mondovino how the terroir is 10 times more important than the vigneron/winemaker
And as an example you think of Rousseau Clos de la Roche where he doesn't really have a top parcel when Dujac or Ponsot do and make a better wine (IMO) than what I consider to be one of the best red wine producer of the Cote de Nuits(I know, the other two are not bad either). Anyway I just follow those lines too, producer, vineyard, parcel, vintage, but it is never easy.
I guess that's what makes it interesting. 👌🙏
