Domaine Robert Groffier Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2017, from the heart of Bourgogne’s Chambolle-Musigny, is a refined Pinot Noir crafted by a family estate renowned for its elegance. The 2017 vintage, celebrated for its balance, presents a vibrant ruby color with bright clarity. The nose offers a delicate bouquet of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, interwoven with notes of rose petals, forest floor, and a hint of clove. A subtle mineral streak, derived from Bourgogne’s limestone soils, adds depth. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and harmonious, with silky tannins and crisp acidity supporting fresh, expressive fruit. The mid-palate reveals a fine, chalky texture and savory herbal hints, leading to a refined finish with lingering red fruit and floral undertones. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in lightly used French oak, this wine reflects Groffier’s focus on fruit purity and terroir. Ideal for pairing with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or soft cheeses like Camembert, it is approachable now but will gain nuance over 5-8 years. Domaine Robert Groffier’s expertise shines, balancing accessibility with sophistication, making this a favorite for Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a wine that captures Bourgogne’s charm. This 2017 vintage offers a captivating experience, showcasing the finesse of one of the region’s finest producers.
