2023 Domaine Philippe Gavignet Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes

Aromas of black cherries, autumn leaves, colored peppers Ripe tannins, silky; flavors of red plums. Hand-harvested. Cold macerated for nine to 10 days; fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks. Aged in barrel (25% new oak) for 16 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. 50-90 year-old vines. Some of Gavignet’s oldest vines are the core of this “vieilles vignes” cru, planted in 1920 and 1954. Vineyards ‘Les Belles Croix’ and ‘Les Allots’ both border Nuits-Saint-Georges’ premier cru row of vineyards. For us, this wine is the sum of all the things that make Gavignet wines so remarkable: impeccable terroir, stunning older-vine fruit, peerless craftsmanship, elegant flavors.
