🏰 The 2017 Robert Groffier Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru hails from a vintage Neal Martin described as a 'modern classic' for Burgundy. Under the guidance of Nicolas Groffier, the domaine has seen a stylistic shift, resulting in wines that are significantly improved, showcasing enhanced freshness and tension. The 2017 growing season was relatively straightforward, marked by an early start, ample dryness, and beneficial late August rains that contributed to the wine's freshness. Harvest occurred under dry conditions in early September. This particular wine is lauded as a brilliant creation from Nicolas Groffier, built to last and transcending typical vintage conditions, offering subtlety, complexity, and refined power. Visually, it presents a rich, youthful purple hue. The nose and palate reveal a darker fruit profile, with such integrated complexity that individual flavors are hard to pinpoint, yet it exudes a luxurious and silky character. Expect vibrant, bright strawberry fruit, balanced by a pleasing acidity. Dense raspberry and black cherry notes lead to a stylish, lingering finish, indicative of its Grand Cru pedigree. 【 A modern classic vintage 】 🍴 This Grand Cru Burgundy is an ideal partner for classic pairings such as roasted game birds, succulent duck, rich mushroom dishes, or a selection of fine, aged cheeses. 🥂 A superb choice for celebrating a significant anniversary, hosting a high-end dinner party, or for a serious wine tasting event among connoisseurs.
