Structured and serious for a Griotte, Joseph Drouhin’s 2023 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru layers dark cherry and red berry fruit with earthy spice, a touch of warmth, and a firm lattice of tannin that brings more muscle than silk at this early stage. The palate is concentrated yet succulent, with good sap and lingering spice, clearly built for patience rather than immediate charm. This is a powerful, ageworthy expression of the cru that should gain nuance and softness with time in bottle.

Joseph Drouhin’s Griotte‑Chambertin Grand Cru is a rare, small‑parcel Pinot Noir from the tiny Griotte climat in Gevrey‑Chambertin—noted for its vivid morello‑cherry fruit, floral lift and an undercurrent of spice, leather and truffle as it ages. Drouhin’s estate‑grown, organically/biodynamically tended fruit and restrained winemaking produce a silky, finely‑tannined Grand Cru that balances lush, perfumed fruit with a chalky mineral spine and long aging potential.
