Reviewed January 2024Sentiers is on the border with Morey and shares some of its character. According to Nicolas Groffier, just 40cm of iron-rich clay covers the limestone here. He ferments the wine completely as whole clusters and ages it in cask (one-third new). The finished wine has a deep fig and plum fruit with hints of earth, iron, and tar. The texture is firmly tannic but leavened by the finesse of Chambolle. The overall result is impressive, if a bit fearsome at present – let this settle for five to seven years before opening for best results.(CC)

Wine Spectator
This red is pure and alluring for its juicy cherry, currant, sandalwood and toasty oak flavors. Builds in intensity to the resonant aftertaste without being obvious, drawing on the vibrant acidity. There's a light, chalky feel on the finish. Elegant. Best from 2027 through 2043.—B.S.

35% new wood, 90% whole bunches. A bright plump purple colour. Lively fruit suggesting some iron in the soil. Nicolas tells me there is lots in the lower part of the vineyard. Perhaps he could make his upper and lower parts separately, sand v iron rich clay? Fresh acidity behind, after red fruit, strawberry, with a blood orange nose. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted: November 2023.
