Histoire du domaine
The Groffier family’s roots in viticulture date back to the 19th century, with Frédéric Groffier. Between the 1930s and 1950s, Jules Groffier built up a significant part of the family’s wine-growing estate in Chambolle-Musigny and in the grands crus, notably at Les Amoureuses, Bonnes-Mares and Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze. His son Robert Groffier, born in 1931, began working in the vineyards in 1945 and established the estate in its current form. He began bottling wine at the estate in the 1960s, whilst continuing to sell some of the grapes to wine merchants until the 1990s. Serge Groffier worked alongside his father from his teenage years and was responsible for winemaking from 1984 to 2006. Nicolas Groffier joined the estate in 2005 and has been in charge of the wines since 2007. Julie Groffier joined the estate in 2014; she now works alongside Nicolas in running this family-owned estate. The estate is based in Morey-Saint-Denis, whilst its vineyards are spread across Chambolle-Musigny and Gevrey-Chambertin.
Bonnes-Mares
Bonnes-Mares is a physically delineated Grand Cru of the Côte de Nuits, split between Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis, with the largest portion located in Chambolle-Musigny. The vineyard forms approximately a rectangle south of Clos de Tart, on a gently sloping hillside with an easterly exposure. The light, gravelly, brown to reddish soils containing clay with flint rest on Jurassic limestone and white marl.
