Bonnes-Mares Robert Groffier 2005 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The Bonnes-Mares vineyard sits on a mix of `terres blanches` and `terres rouges`, with Groffier`s parcels leaning toward the clay-heavy soil that produces a massive, muscular style. 2005 is a five-star vintage, resulting in a wine of heft and concentration. It presents wild aromas of blackberry liqueur, mocha and faded rose. The palate is dense and chewy, with ripe tannins and a very long, lush finish. Despite its power, the wine maintains a sense of symmetry and focus, representing one of the most opulent expressions of this Cru.
