Product details
Domaine Robert Groffier Père & Fils, a venerable estate in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, has been crafting exceptional wines for generations. Their 2022 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru exemplifies the family's commitment to quality and tradition. This esteemed vineyard spans both Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis, with Groffier's one-hectare parcel predominantly situated near the Morey end. The terroir comprises approximately 75% terres rouges and 25% terres blanches soils, contributing to the wine's distinctive character. The 2022 vintage underwent whole-cluster fermentation with gentle extraction and is aging in 50% new oak barrels, reflecting the domaine's meticulous craftsmanship.
The 2022 Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru presents an aromatic profile of dark damson plum and mulberry, accented by hints of cedar, smoke, and pepper. On the palate, it reveals a firmly tannic structure that is both solid and dense, yet maintains an elegant balance. This muscular elegance suggests significant aging potential, with an anticipated drinking window beginning in 2031 and peaking around 2044. For an optimal gastronomic experience, consider pairing this Grand Cru with hearty dishes such as thick-cut Irish Angus ribeye cooked on a plancha, accompanied by potatoes and a rich shallot confit.
