The 2012 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru has a generous bouquet with a mingling of red and black fruit, though like the Mazis, the new oak is dominant at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with candied orange peel on the entry, white pepper sprinkled at the sound of the mouth, but with a cohesive finish with a modern sheen. Fine. Neal Martin – The Wine Advocate
Tasting note: A generous dollop of wood toast frames the fresh and layered nose of red currant, black raspberry, spice and earth aromas. This is also admirably concentrated with a more refined mouth feel to the more modestly scaled flavors that also brim with plenty of dry extract, all wrapped in a mocha and wood toast-infused finish. This isn't as powerful but it too will require extended cellaring.
