Domaine Chevrot & Fils - Pivoine- Coteaux Bourguignons - Bourgogne, France (2022)

TASTING NOTES

Aromas of raspberry, cranberry, red currant, and strawberry with hints of spice, peonies, violets, and stone mineral on the nose. Fresh and light on the palate with a red-fruited core, vibrant acidity, a fine layer of tannin for texture, and a spiciness on the finish.

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 a horse, they seek to be faithful to their terroir.

Cellar practices are mainly hands-off with additions avoided and have very minimal use of sulphur. Fruit is generally all destemmed, but will use whole clusters in top cuvées.
