Domaine Chevrot & Fils - Bourgogne Rouge, France (2021)

TASTING NOTES

Subtle and nuanced, this is shows black forest gateau with hints of violet, earth, and spice. Juicy and supple with fine tannins and a persistent, mineral finish.

Pinot Noir from 4 vineyards across Cheilly-Les-Maranges. Vines average 50 years of age and grow on diverse soils with a mix of sandstone, clay, gravel and marl. Hand-harvested and destemmed, fermentation with natural yeast with maturation in older oak barrel.

Brothers Pablo & Vincent Chevrot both manage Domaine Chevrot, where their wine-growing history began back in 1798. The Chevrot family’s long history in Maranges played a key role in the area. They were granted AOC status in 1988. Vineyard holdings total 18.5ha and are farmed organically and employ biodynamic practices. With the help of two horses, they seek to be faithful to their terroir.
