WSI93+ Aromas of black fruits and a hint of forest floor. Flavors of black/red fruits and black pepper. Savory and mouth-watering! Estate vines are located in and around the village of NuitsSaint-Georges: lieu-dits ‘Les Croix Blanches’ (in Nuits-Saint-Georges), ‘Les Bouffales’ and ‘Les Maladières’ (direction Premeaux-Prissey). Soils are mostly red and gray silt. Hand-harvested. Fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks. Aged in older barrels for one year. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Not your “average” Bourgogne Rouge. Gavignet combines fruit from 45+ year old vines grown on two separate plots in Nuits proper; the vineyards’ mineral-rich, silty soils contribute spice and refined tannins. It’s true that you can judge the talents of a winemaker in how he or she treats their “base” wine; this is, hands-down, one of the more refined, character-rich Bourgogne Rouge wines out there.
