Note di degustazione
Rich and explosive to the core, Groffier's 2011 Chambertin Clos de Bèze hits the palate with huge dark blue/purplish fruit, violets, menthol and cloves. Even with all of the intensity, power and voluptuousness, my preference is to drink the Groffier Burgundies sooner rather than later. The inclusion of 50% whole clusters adds complexity and dimension. This is an especially bold, fruit-driven Bèze, but it all works.

(two-thirds vendange entier; from a crop level of just 23 hectoliters per hectare, or about 10 h/h lower than the estate's other crus, according to Nicolas Groffier; finished its malolactic fermentation three weeks before my visit): Deep, saturated ruby. Very dark aromas of black cherry, violet, dark chocolate and crushed stone. Large-scaled and seriously structured, but dominated today by musky and saline qualities. Finishes with a strong spine of acidity and tannins and excellent length. This is showing the effects of a recent sulfur addition.
