    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Robert Groffier, Chambolle Musigny, Les Sentiers, 1er Cru, 2016

    Full, structured but with such amazing energy. Classic, crisp Pinot fruit with a firm backbone. Notes of red berry, loganberry, herb and forest floor. Really juicy but with gras and corpulence. A parcel of 80 year-old vines planted on iron-rich clay soils giving full, structured wines. All fermented with whole bunches and ageing in 25% new wood.

    ABV:
    13.5%
    90-92/100

    The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers 1er Cru comes from Cordon-Royat-trained 80-year-old vines that encountered a lot of frost. Raised in 40% new oak, this has a tightly-wound bouquet that unfurls with redcurrant, cranberry and light blood orange scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins that frame the tensile red fruit; citrus fresh with a pleasant bitterness lending energy on the finish. Drink this fine Chambolle over the next 12-15 years.
