Domaine Robert Groffier

The Groffiers reported very little rot in 2007 but that's largely because they picked very early, beginning on August 27. "Things would have been much worse ten days later," noted Nicolas Groffier. Potential alcohols were in the 12% to 12.2% range and the finished wines will weigh in at about 13%. The Groffiers did a bit more extraction during vinification than in the previous year and rate the new vintage in the same general quality league as 2006, a year that saw even lower estate-wide production (28 hectoliters per hectare, vs. about 33 in '97). Nicolas describes the 2007s as "fresh and pure, with more finesse and roundness than 2006. Both vintages should age nicely but will also drink well in their youth," he added. Robert Groffier believes that the 2007s will age longer than the 2006s; he feels that they're more plush but a bit less precise and vibrant today.
