Description
A ripe and full-bodied wine that is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Philippe Gavignet produces thirteen different wines from just twelve hectares in and around Nuits Saint-Georges.
His vieilles vignes bottling originates from just over an acre split between les Belles Croix and les Allots, both immediately below the belt of premier cru vineyards spanning the village; the vines were planted in 1926 and 1954.
On the nose the wine is dense with ripe red fruits (cherries, raspberries) with a light floral undertone.
This leads to a fuller bodied palate with a silky smooth mouthfeel and wonderfully long finish and excellent complexity.
