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.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Chambolle-Musigny is a village appellation located in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy, France. The commune sits between Morey-Saint-Denis to the north and Vougeot to the south, positioned on the eastern slopes of the Côte d'Or escarpment. The appellation encompasses both village-level vineyards and premier cru sites, with the most famous premier cru climats including Les Amoureuses, Les Charmes, and Les Fuées.

The vineyards are planted exclusively to Pinot Noir and benefit from limestone-rich soils with varying compositions of clay and marl. The eastern-facing slopes provide optimal sun exposure while maintaining the cooler temperatures that Pinot Noir requires. Premier cru vineyards are typically situated on the mid-slope positions where drainage is excellent and the limestone bedrock is closer to the surface. Traditional Burgundian winemaking methods are employed, with fermentation in open-top vessels and aging in French oak barrels.

Chambolle-Musigny wines are known for their elegance and finesse, often described as the most delicate and perfumed of the Côte de Nuits villages. The wines typically display bright red fruit flavors, floral aromatics, and a silky texture with refined tannins. Premier cru bottlings tend to show greater concentration and aging potential while maintaining the appellation's characteristic grace and aromatic complexity.
