THE CRU or THE GRAND CRU The 1er Cru "Amoureuses" is one of the most famous of Burgundy, velvet wine, , has been positioned for decades as the finest and most elegant wine of Chambolle, which in itself is the commune that evokes delicacy and subtlety. This small climate that measures 5.4 ha and follows the glorious Musigny. Its rather elevated exposure, slightly cool and facing east, gives the wines a unique textural smoothness and, above all, the joy of a fruit like no other. Anyone who has drunk an Amoureuses of noble origin in their life as a taster cannot forget these penetrating aromas of violet and cherry. Like most of the Chambolle area, Les Amoureuses is characterized by a slightly greater amount of limestone than clay compared to Burgundy’s typical clay-calcareous mix THE DOMAINE: In every recent vintage, this Domaine has produced complex, delicious, lushly textured wines that are immediately appealing, but also have the balance to improve for many years. Groffier was ranked as one of the top four Burgundy producers of the late 1990s (Robert Parker) The philosophy of the domain is always let their grapes ripen longer than most producers, their methods are traditional. They severely limit yields and then meticulously sort the grapes after harvest. There is no strict formula for new oak or the amount of time each wine spends in barrel. They check the wines regularly during every stage of development and let their palates guide them. THE TASTING Bright red ruby with violet hues. Aromas of raspberry, chocolate, mocha and undergrowth. Concentrated, ripe and creamy, but with a surprise acidity that forms the flavours of blackberry and spices. In the mouth it is magnificent, spherical, elegant, with a sublime architecture. Silky tannins that are alive and still evolving: blackberry and Kirshwasser.
