The domain
Located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Domaine Philippe Gavignet is a family business that has had five generations of winemakers.
Philippe Gavignet, who runs the estate, is assisted by his two children Elodie and Benoit. The estate produces 16 appellations, mainly reds, but also a few whites and a rosé.
The estate has been practising sustainable viticulture for many years, and in 2020 obtained its High Environmental Value (HVE) level 3 certification. Thanks to the immense talent of Philippe Gavignet, the Domaine produces greedy, fruity wines with great ageing potential.
Terroir and breeding
La Montagne, with a surface area of 0.35 ha, is situated between 300 and 400 metres in altitude. The vineyard occupies the slopes of the valleys incising the Jurassic limestone plateaus, to the west of "la côte". The substratum is identical to that of the coast, but the surface formations are very thin, or even non-existent. The clay-limestone soils result from the alteration of the limestone and marl of the substrate.
Pressing then fermentation for half in stainless steel vats and half in 350 litre barrels, stirring every 15 days. Aged in vats and then in barrels for 12 months.
Tasting notes
The colour is yellow lotus, fresh and limpid. The nose is fresh, elegant, chiselled; the greediness of the harlequin candy fades with aeration to the benefit of the lime tree. The mouth is ample, generous, greedy and with a good length.
This excellent Chardonnay is ideal with tarama, steamed fish, shellfish, parsley ham, snails, foie gras with salt or cheeses (Roquefort, aisy cendré, comté affiné, chaource).
