The 2016 Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru, which debuted back in 2014, comes from purchased grapes, although it is Laurent Lignier himself who does the harvest. It has a lifted bouquet with blackberry, bilberry and a light marine influence, less extroverted than last year's Griotte, more strict and correct. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, quite masculine in style with good structure toward the finish that just tapers in a little prematurely. Fine.
