Nicolas Groffier has apparently changed his commercial strategy this year, canceling the orders he had from his U.S. importers with the intention of aging his wines in his own cellar for as much as five to eight years before selling them. He invited me to taste his finished 2014s from bottle in December, and when I arrived he also had a few ‘15s ready—his just-bottled Bourgogne Pinot Noir and Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers—and, as a bonus, the Bonnes-Mares, which he may have presented by accident.
I’m still a little unclear about his ultimate plans for releasing his wines, but the ‘15s I tasted were superb. “The 2015s are very young,” Groffier explained. “The terroir will come in about 12 years; today three-quarters of what we taste is the weather and one-quarter the terroir. But there’s already a lot of minerality. Two thousand fourteen was made with water while 2015 was made by drought.” Yields in the family’s crus were a healthy 35 to 40 hectoliters per hectare in 2014 but only around 25 in 2015. For his part, Nicolas’s father Serge prefers drinking the family’s wines on the young side, after five or six years. But he agrees that the 2015s are for longer aging than the ‘14s.
