WINE DESCRIPTION
Robert Groffier Bourgogne Passetoutgrains is a distinguished blend crafted by the esteemed Domaine Robert Groffier. This regional appellation, once nearly forgotten, is revitalized by Groffier's dedication to excellence. The wine uniquely combines 70-75% Pinot Noir with 25-30% Gamay, grown on forty-year-old vines in clay-limestone soils. Nicolas Groffier emphasizes natural vineyard practices and severe pruning to control yields and enhance concentration. In the winery, minimal intervention is key, including careful sorting, a cold maceration of about seven days, and aging on the lees in barrels without fining or filtration. The result is a refined and complex wine, showcasing the harmony of Pinot Noir's elegance and Gamay's vibrant fruitiness, reflecting both tradition and innovation in Burgundy winemaking.
