Domaine Robert Groffier is a small family producer based in Morey-Saint-Denis in the Côte de Nuits section of Burgundy. The domaine works with vineyards in some of Burgundy's finest appellations, focusing exclusively on Pinot Noir production in the traditional Burgundian style.
Bonnes-Mares, where the domaine's current offerings are sourced, is one of Burgundy's most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards. The vineyard straddles the communes of Morey-Saint-Denis and Chambolle-Musigny, spanning approximately 15 hectares across a diverse range of soil types and elevations. These geological variations contribute to wines of considerable complexity and depth, typically showing the darker fruit character and structural intensity for which the site is known.
The domaine's Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru represents the traditional expression of this terroir—a wine built on Pinot Noir's capacity for balance between ripe fruit, earthy minerality, and fine-grained tannin structure.

Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is one of the most prestigious and renowned Grand Cru vineyards in the Burgundy wine region of France, specifically in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin within the Côte de Nuits area. This appellation stands as a paragon of the highest quality Pinot Noir, offering some of the most celebrated and sought-after wines globally.
Chambertin-Clos de Bèze has a rich history that dates back to the 7th century, when it was initially cultivated by monks from the Abbey of Bèze. The vineyard covers approximately 15.4 hectares, making it one of the larger Grand Cru sites in Burgundy. The appellation is adjacent to another legendary Grand Cru, Chambertin, and while both share similar soil compositions and climatic conditions, each vineyard's wines possess distinct characteristics.
The terroir of Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is characterized by shallow, rocky soils, predominantly composed of limestone and marl. This rocky terrain facilitates excellent drainage and reflects heat back to the vines, contributing to the consistent ripening of grapes. These conditions are ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir that expresses a full spectrum of nuanced flavors.
Wines from Chambertin-Clos de Bèze are renowned for their depth, complexity, and structure. They typically display a rich bouquet of dark fruits like cherry and blackberry, complemented by earthy undertones, fine tannins, and a notable minerality. With age, these wines develop even more intricate layers of flavor, including notes of spice, leather, and truffle, making them highly prized among collectors.
Due to their exceptional quality and aging potential, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze wines are considered excellent investments for wine enthusiasts and are revered for their ability to showcase the epitome of what Burgundy Pinot Noir can achieve.
