The 2012 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Joseph Drouhin is an exceptional Pinot Noir from Burgundy, specifically from the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. The Griotte-Chambertin vineyard, with an area of less than 3 hectares, is centrally located among other Grand Cru vineyards and is known for its unique terroir. The name "Griotte" possibly refers to the Morello cherry, an aroma often found in this wine. However, etymologically it is derived from "Criots", which is related to "craie" (lime), indicating the chalky soil of the vineyard. The Griotte-Chambertin has complex and subtle aromas of cherry liqueur, candied cherry, fine leather and nutmeg. With age, notes of truffle and game develop. The tannins are present but never aggressive, resulting in a long and persistent finish. The 2012 Griotte-Chambertin has a cellaring potential of 15 to 25 years, with a maximum ageing of up to 40 years.
