WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Domaine Robert Groffier Père et Fils Bourgogne Rouge 2022 begins with grapes from sustainable vineyards, managed with rigorous yield control. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts, with a focus on gentle extraction. The wine then undergoes several months of aging in oak barrels, with a moderate percentage of new oak (typically 15-25%) used to complement, rather than dominate, the wine's character. The estate's approach emphasizes allowing the inherent qualities of the Pinot Noir and the Burgundy terroir to define the final wine.
