DOMAINE ROBERT GROFFIER BONNES MARES GRAND CRU 2023 - red

Style : Rocks & MineralsThis 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 Passetoutgrains JASPER MORRIS MWThe Bonnes-Mares from Groffier is a burly, muscular wine as can often be the case in this appellation. The aromas range from ripe plum and cherry, to fresh flowers and a bit of peppery spice. The structure is tannic and dense, with plenty of tannins and the substance to age for the long term. The grapes are from one hectare, most of it planted on the iron-rich ‘terres rouge’ soils, but the parcel stretches the entire slope. The grapes were fermented mostly as whole clusters, and the wine is ageing at present in cask, half new.
