The style of Philippe Gavignet Burgundy “brings back” the profound elegance of Pinot Noir to Nuits-Saint-Georges, an appellation often known for more tannic (and often less balanced) wines. Gavignet wines are solid proof that Nuits has the terroir to produce elegant Burgundy but that it requires a conscientious winemaker such as Philippe to craft it.
Curiously, Gavignet remains an insider’s secret, while “bigger” names in the village garner the attention (and demand ever-higher prices). Yet no other producer even comes close to capturing the true character of this impeccable terroir as does Philippe Gavignet.
Aromas of black cherries, autumn leaves, colored peppers. Ripe tannins, silky; flavors of red plums.
16 C
Can be enjoyed with red meats, charcuterie, bushmeats, roasts, grilled meats and of course cheeses and tomato-based dishes (Osso Bucco, spaghetti bolognese…).
