Tasting notes for the Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2018 - Robert Groffier

  • EYE: The intense ruby red hue of this Chambertin-Clos de Bèze immediately evokes a sense of wonder. A shade that reveals the depth and concentration emblematic of this renowned Burgundian grand cru.
  • NOSE: Enchanting aromas emanate from the glass. Notes of black cherry, blackcurrant, and dried rose intertwine in a complex bouquet. Subtle undertones of undergrowth and licorice are also discovered, adding an additional dimension to this aromatic symphony.
  • MOUTH: A unique sensory experience. Silky tannins provide a delicate structure, giving way to flavors of red fruits, truffle, and black pepper that unfold with finesse. This perfect balance between power and delicacy bestows remarkable harmony upon the wine.

 

In short: The 2018 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru from Domaine Groffier embodies the very essence of the Burgundian climat. Its complexity, structured elegance, and perfumed bouquet create a memorable experience. Plan for an additional aging of 10 to 20 years to reveal the full potential of this exceptional vintage. In harmony with refined cuisine, this grand cru pairs exceptionally well with roasted duck with cherries, coq au vin, herb-crusted lamb chops, a selection of aged cheeses, or wild mushroom risotto.

Family vineyard in Chambolle-Musigny

 

As a former professional cyclist, Jules Groffier was very familiar with France. During the 1950s, he decided to dedicate his life to his other passion: winemaking. He left his bike to go work on his family's Burgundian estate, founded by his father Frédéric in the little village of Morey-Saint-Denis. There, he would take care of vines planted during the 1930s, until his death in 1974. After his passing, his son Robert took the helm of the estate.

Robert Groffier has a deep respect for the terroir and the family traditions. He takes extremely good care of the 8 hectares of vineyard he inherited, growing in Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny (this latter parcel produces the famous First Growth "Les Amoureuses"). His life ambition? To create the kinds of wines that can really express the power of the grapes, instead of the effect of the winemaking process itself.

In 2005, Robert left the reins of the family estate to his son Nicolas. He represents the fourth generation of Groffier, as attached to nature and family values as his ancestors. Together, father and son are now among the very best winemakers of the Côte de Nuits, thanks to their fine and smooth wines. Acclaimed by connoisseurs, their wines can age gracefully and will reveal themselves after a dozen years of cellaring.
