2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Sentiers Robert Groffier, Burgund

Wine Spectator - 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Sentiers, Robert Groffier

A focused, fruity style, with an underpinning of mineral and racy acidity defining the cherry, raspberry, smoke and spice flavors. Balanced and long, echoing the spice and stone notes on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2046. - Feb. 2020

Vinous - 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Sentiers, Robert Groffier

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers 1er Cru comes from a parcel of 80-year-old vines, containing 25% whole bunch fruit and matured in 75% new oak. The bouquet is completely different from Les Hauts Doix, displaying more density, darker fruit, more substance and a less airy style, but still very pure and detailed. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. There is plenty of lightly spiced black fruit, gentle grip, an appealing sense of symmetry and a longer tail on the finish than the Les Haut Doix. Superb. - Neil Martin, Jan. 2019
