DOM ROBERT GROFFIER CHAMBERTIN CLOS DE BEZE GRAND CRU 2023 - red

Style: Rocks & MineralsThe Groffier family are among the best wine makers in the Côte de Nuits. Originally founded by Robert Groffier’s father, Jules in the 1950s, the domaine is now run by Robert’s grandson, Nicolas. PEARL OF BURGUNDYI have been feting the winemaking of Nicolas Groffier for three or four years now. Where once the domaine had a penchant for rather over-extracted wines, Nicolas has navigated a different course with completely different wines: elegant, full of tension and completely respectful of their terroirs. NEIL MARTINThis domaine is heroic for some, under the radar for others. I wonder if one reason for the latter point of view is because, whereas the vineyards are predominantly in Chambolle-Musigny, the domaine itself is located in Morey-St-Denis where they own virtually no vineyard land, excepting some Bourgogne Passetoutgrains and a sliver of village Morey – which gets put in the PassetoutgrainsJASPER MORRIS MWThe 2023 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru is the richest, fullest wine in the cellar, offering up aromas of dark berries, orange zest, exotic spices and petals, followed by a full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate framed by sweet, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the chalky finish. Groffier is now bottling the upper part of his Clos de Bèze, located on a geological fault and less ripe in style, as a tiny cuvée of Chambertin.
