Domaine Groffier lies in Morey, but its seven-hectare domaine contains few vines from the commune. Its main holdings are in next-door Chambolle, where it owns substantial parts in the finest 1ers and grands crus (including the biggest part of Amoureuses), as well as some excellent Gevrey vineyards, Clos de Bèze among them. Although it has consistently produced fine, elegant wine, it has been a little under the radar until recently, when Nicolas Groffier took over from his grandfather Robert and father Serge. A young man of firm opinions, he has taken quality to an unprecedented level, and the wines are now very sought-after.
Grape maturation had slowed in early August during a warm dry spell, but rain on 23rd
August refreshed the vines, enabling Nicolas to harvest from the 27th. Unlike some others, he did not change his normal methods: the proportion of whole bunches was kept the same, the percentage rising with the level of appellation, and he punched down his musts three times a day as he always does. It does not appear to have affected the purity of the wines. They are delicate, precise and perfectly balanced.
