The
Griotte-Chambertin appellation covers an area of
2.65 hectares in the Gevrey-Chambertin commune. This
Grand Cru appellation benefits from varied soils on a rocky hillside. At the top of the hill, the soils consist of brown soil, silt and gravelly scree while the slope has clay-limestone soil. Griotte-Chambertin only produces red
Pinot Noir wines. At tasting, the Griotte-Chambertin develops
red fruit and
black fruit aromas with
spicy, empyreumatic, floral and
vegetal notes. On the palate, it is
powerful, opulent, elegant and
complex. It is often advisable to wait ten years before drinking a bottle from the Griotte-Chambertin appellation.
