The history of Domaine Groffier is one of family continuity intertwined with Burgundian tradition: expert hands, daily care of the vines, and a long-term vision. The winery thrives on deep roots in the territory, with a philosophy that focuses on the raw materials and respect for the soil, relying on barrels, measured winemaking practices, and meticulous vineyard management as a common thread between past and present.

The result is a wine that expresses consistency, concentration, and verticality, without sacrificing the luminosity of its aromas and the refinement of its tannins.

The 2011 vintage provided a refined texture, capable of evolving over time while maintaining balance and a clean cut.

Sensory characteristics described narratively: in the glass, an intense ruby ​​color emerges, with garnet highlights; on the nose, black cherry, blackberry, and a light spicy note intertwine, emerging against a backdrop of moist soil and flint; on the palate, the texture is silky, the tannins are dense yet smooth, and the acidity supports a slow progression that leaves a long finish with hints of cocoa and herbaceous notes.

Role of the wine in the range: Chambertin Clos de Beze 2011 occupies a prominent position, offering an authentic interpretation of the cru that ranges between power and grace, and is designed for those who desire wines capable of aging and generating complexity over time, to be accompanied by structured dishes or mature cheeses in contexts of gastronomic meditation.

Final sentence consistent with STELT: for STELT it is the manifestation of a lucid patience, of a disciplined terroir and of a vision that values ​​slow production as a degree of depth, a choice that invites you to drink with awareness and to wait for the natural evolution of the wine.
