🏰 The 2014 Chambertin Clos de Bèze from Robert Groffier is a highly acclaimed Grand Cru, with critics like Wine Spectator awarding it 97 points. It's described as broad and meaty, showcasing underlying animal and woodsy elements that complement core flavors of cherry, currant, and mineral. The wine is firm and lively, with a solid grip on the lingering aftertaste, presenting as fluid and vibrant overall. Neal Martin noted its vivid color and a high-toned nose of blueberry and cassis fruit, with a fleshy opening on the palate and sensuality and luxuriance on the finish, typical of Groffier's style. It's a wine that will reward bottle age, with a drinking window suggested from 2021 through 2040. Some tasters found it surprisingly accessible even at a younger age, with classic Gevrey notes of herbs, wild berries, minerals, and menthol. The integration of high acidity with pure notes of fresh red berries and minerals, alongside darker notes of fireplace and a hint of licorice, is considered superior. 【 97-point Wine Spectator Grand Cru 】 🍴 This robust red Burgundy pairs beautifully with classic meat dishes such as duck, goose, and other game birds. It would also complement roasted lamb, beef bourguignon, or mushroom-based dishes. 🥂 Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special anniversary celebration, or as a centerpiece for a serious wine tasting among connoisseurs.
