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

The wine

A leading Côte de Nuits appellation in Burgundy, Chambolle-Musigny lies between the communes of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Dijon. The soil, ideally exposed to the south-west and with a low clay content, is the source of the delicate aromatic profile of its Pinot Noir crus. Hand-picked at peak maturity, the Pinot Noir grapes are vinified in the purest Burgundy tradition, with minimal intervention and sulphur.
The dark colour adorned with purplish tints promises a highly expressive bouquet. The nose is indeed characterised by intense aromas of underwood and ripe red fruit. The delicate, elegant palate affirms the aromas on the nose and reveals fine tannins, delicately leading to a lingering, flavoursome finish. This splendid red wine can be savoured young or cellared for a few years.

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.
