Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses La Délicatesse des Sables Robert Groffier Père & Fils (Domaine) 2022

The wine

Located between the Grand Cru area of Musigny and the Premier Cru area of Les Hauts-Doix in Chambolle-Musigny, this wine comes from a terroir characterised by its clay-limestone soil. The estate owns the largest parcel of the famous Premier Cru Les Amoureuses.
Everything here is hand-harvested, the grapes are sorted and transferred to cone-shaped oak barrels. The 20 to 28-day maceration period allows for the development of the full breadth of aromatic complexity from the Pinot Noir grapes, with careful extraction carried out during seven days of chilling. Ageing in 50% new oak barrels, according to the Burgundy tradition, for 14 to 18 months, completes the production of this cuvée.
This wine offers a rich and complex aromatic palate, exuding notes of red fruits, such as strawberries and cherries, as well as hints of spices, bergamot and white pepper. It has a subtle woody nose and it envelops the palate. The tannins are silky and elegant, making for a delicious tasting experience.

About the Producer Robert Groffier Père & Fils

Domaine Robert Groffier Père et Fils is a family vineyard much-loved by amateurs. The bike racer Jules Groffier founded this seven-hectare domain situated on the superb parcels of Chambolle Musigny, Bonnes Mares de Clos de Bèze. Robert Groffier, who now manages the domain with his son Serge, is considered one of the best winemakers in the Côte d'Or. Great care is taken over the vines and yields are rigorously controlled. This gives rise to wines that express a wonderful interpretation of Pinot Noir. Since 2005 Nicolas Groffier has joined the domain and manages vinification. The vines are mostly located in Chambolle-Musigny and include the famous plot Les Amoureuses. The wines of this domain show a great finesse, with a very silky texture, but also power and structure. They are perfect for a long ageing.
