Domaine Philippe Gavignet Description
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.
Yet what’s kept us coming back to this modest cellar is the finesse and harmony of this estate’s honest, hand-crafted wines. Not to mention what an enjoyable experience it is to taste with Philippe, a “salt of the earth” sort of winemaker. He can’t stand pretence; casual but serious, Philippe is a true artisan who is always eager to share with us older bottles to show just how revelatory his old-vine Nuits can be.
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.
Some of Gavignet’s oldest vines are the core of this “Vieilles Vignes” cru, planted in 1920 and 1954. Vineyards ‘Les Belles Croix’ and ‘Les Allots’ both border Nuits-Saint-Georges’ premier cru row of vineyards. For us, this wine is the sum of all the things that make Gavignet wines so remarkable: impeccable terroir, stunning older-vine fruit, peerless craftsmanship, elegant flavors.
Tasting Note: Aromas of black cherries, autumn leaves, colored peppers Ripe tannins, silky; flavors of red plums.
Wine Pairing: Pork ribs with chipotle glaze; grilled steak
