Robert Groffier Chambolle-Musigny Les Hauts Doix Premier Cru 2021

Les Hauts Doix Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru from Domaine Robert Groffier is the fruit of an ancient savoir-faire. The estate is managed by Nicolas and Julie Groffier, who can count on eight hectares of property distributed in parcels of the highest quality. The domaine's style is inspired by the search for finesse, which is expressed in wines with a harmonious and silky texture, elegant and long-lived. The Pinot Noir grapes come from a parcel located within the Premier Cru "Les Hauts Doix," which is located in the southeastern part of the Chambolle-Musigny communal area, in a particularly prized area, right on the border with the famous Les Amoureuses cru. The vines are grown on soils of a limestone nature, shallow, resting directly on the parent rock. The rich presence of crushed stone and pebbles makes them poor and very draining, ideal for quality viticulture based on high planting density and low yields. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matures for at least a year in French oak barrels.

Domaine Robert Groffier's Premier Cru "Les Hauts Doix" Chambolle-Musigny holds true to the reputation of Pinot Noirs from this terroir, which has always been known for the delicacy of its wines, which are among the finest in the entire Côte de Nuits. In the glass, it is bright ruby red in color. The bouquet gives splendid floral nuances of violet, iris, dried flowers, aromas of raspberry, red currant, morello cherry and wild strawberries, hints of licorice root and delicate spices. The sip is harmonious, soft, with a very elegant tannic texture and a smooth, fresh and savory finish.

Wild cherry, currant, hibiscus, sandalwood, mineral and oak spice aromas and flavors signal this supple, graceful red, which is well-delineated, complex and compelling. Shows terrific harmony and length. Best from 2028
