This generous, richly structured yet elegant red Burgundy has winemaker Philippe Gavignet written all over it—harmony, purity and a silky sweetness from perfume to finish. Raspberries and blackberries blend with incense and a touch of forest floor on the expressive nose. Broad and luscious on the palate, with admirable freshness that is a nod both to the vintage as well as this high-altitude terroir. Aged in older barrels that Gavignet uses for his premier cru wines. A lovely wine and a spectacular example of the beauty of the vintage.

Gavignet Bourgogne Chardonnay 2010

Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Fresh and pure Burgundian Chardonnay with mouth-watering cut and balance. Sourced from vineyards in the broader Hautes Cotes appellation (above the village of Nuits-St.-Georges) with a touch of declassified fruit from the estate's very fine "Argillats" village vineyard. Aged in used barrel and tank; very, very rare!

Gavignet Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru Chaboeufs 2010
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Cherry aromas are sweet and lush, literally pouring from the glass. The mouth mixes more smoky, meaty black cherry fruit with suggestions of iron and a mineral edge. Rounder and certainly very supple, but the vineyard’s mineral soils gives all this stuffing incredible definition and poise.

Gavignet Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru Pruliers 2010
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Sweet, sexy—simply outstanding. “Pruliers” is always a more structured, deeper and darker cru, one we like to sock away and watch evolve with a couple of years in the cellar...a very noble, concentrated and structured cuvee that will give great pleasure for years to come.

Gavignet Bourgogne Rouge 2009
France
/
Côte de Nuits-Burgundy
Sweet, sexy and perfectly proportioned—a uncomplicated yet deliciously complex draught of Pinot Noir purity (and a great deal to boot). Winemaker Philippe Gavignet harvested spicy fruit from mostly older vines from two Bourgogne vineyards in the village of Nuits-St.-Georges, “Maladieres” and “Croix Blanche.”
