2012 Robert Groffier, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Sentiers, Bottle (750ml)
Product Description
"Good deep red. Ripe aromas of small wild red fruits, mocha and brown spices, plus a note of menthol; deeper-pitched than the Haut-Doix. Then big, ripe and rich but fine-grained, with savory red fruit flavors complicated by spices and torrefaction. Finishes youthful, broad and long. Nicolas Groffier noted that his family used to vinify Sentiers for power, "like our Amoureuses," but that he has cut back on extraction. Still, this is a strong wine in 2012." ST for VM Mar 2015
Robert Groffier, Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru, Les Sentiers
"A year ago, Nicolas Groffier compared his young 2012s to the family's 2002s, but they strike me as even denser than those wines, in spite of the fact that the young Groffier is now vinifying more for clarity than for thickness of texture. Thanks to use extensive use of whole-cluster fermentations, these 2012s offer an outstanding combination of sucrosité, acidity and minerality."
