The Groffier family are among the best wine makers in the Côte de Nuits. Originally founded by Robert Groffier’s father, Jules in the 1950s, the domaine is now run by Robert’s grandson, Nicolas. PEARL OF BURGUNDY

I have been feting the winemaking of Nicolas Groffier for three or four years now. Where once the domaine had a penchant for rather over-extracted wines, Nicolas has navigated a different course with completely different wines: elegant, full of tension and completely respectful of their terroirs.

This domaine is heroic for some, under the radar for others. I wonder if one reason for the latter point of view is because, whereas the vineyards are predominantly in Chambolle-Musigny, the domaine itself is located in Morey-St-Denis where they own virtually no vineyard land, excepting some Bourgogne Passetoutgrains and a sliver of village Morey – which gets put in the Passetoutgrains JASPER MORRIS MW
