This vintage faced significant challenges, as the 80-year-old vines trained in Cordon-Royat encountered substantial frost. Despite these adversities, the wine has been well-received by professional reviewers.

Neal Martin of Vinous awarded the wine a commendable 92 points, noting that it has a "tightly-wound bouquet that unfurls with redcurrant, cranberry and light blood orange scents." He describes the palate as "medium-bodied with fine tannins that frame the tensile red fruit," and highlights a "pleasant bitterness lending energy on the finish." Martin suggests that this wine will develop well over the next 12-15 years.

Wine Spectator's reviewer, B.S., gave the wine a slightly higher score of 94 points. According to B.S., this wine exhibits "rose, cherry, wild strawberry, sandalwood and oak spice flavors." The review emphasizes the wine's "tangy, fragrant" nature and notes that it "tightens up as it builds to the long, mineral-tinged finish, with refined tannins." Wine Spectator recommends that this wine is best enjoyed from 2027 through 2043, indicating its excellent aging potential.

In summary, the 2021 Domaine Robert Groffier Chambolle Musigny les Sentiers is a finely crafted Pinot Noir that promises to age gracefully.
