2018 | Doix Robert Groffier | Chambolle Musigny Les Gruenchers

Given its position right next to Les Amoureuses, Les Hauts Doix should be more famous than it is. Rarely seen on labels, it's always poured as an introduction to the range of Chambolle-Musigny bottling chez Groffier but can more than hold its own. With 50% whole clusters and stylish 25% new wood, it has succulent summer berry fruit, some pepper spice and refreshing minerality.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Focused, this red exudes black cherry, blackberry, earth, iron and tobacco flavors. It has innate power, expressed gracefully, with finely wrought tannins and a vibrant structure. Seems approachable already, but should evolve beautifully.

• Vinous: The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Hauts Doix 1er Cru includes 25% new oak and around 50% whole bunch and represented the first vines to be picked this vintage; the alcohol is under 13.0° at the moment. This has a beautifully defined, well-focused and quite mineral-driven bouquet packed full of blackberry and raspberry fruit. The palate is full of primal energy, the red fruit framed by succulent tannins that form an almost corpulent finish, which disguises the structure underneath. This is a superb Chambolle-Musigny from Groffier.

Producer Information

Domaine Robert Groffier Père & Fils is a winery in the Morey-Saint-Denis commune of the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. A majority of the producer's vineyards are in Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin where it makes a range of grand and premier cru wines, mostly from Burgundy's prized red variety, Pinot Noir.The estate has 7 hectares (17 acres) of land that includes parcels in the grand cru vineyards of Bonnes-Mares and Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze. Groffier also has the largest holdings of any producer in the premier cru site Les Amoureuses, making competitively priced wines that are arguably more sought-after than their grand cru counterparts. Sustainable practices are used in the vineyard with herbicides forbidden since 2005.
