Chambolle Musigny Amoureuses, Domaine Robert Groffier 2011

(sulfited just two days prior to my visit; 25% vendange entier): Deep, bright ruby. Deep aromas of black raspberry and roast coffee. Thick and a bit gamey, but with plenty of juicy vibrancy too. Reticent flavors of musky black and red fruits turn distinctly salty on the back end, which features substantial broad tannins and surprising energy. This dense, glyceral, rather extreme wine began with potential alcohol of 11.9% and was chaptalized to 12.9%, according to Nicolas Groffier.
