Description

Maurice Gavignet Monthelié les Sous-Roches 2017

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from the Monthelié appelation

Taste Profile: The color is a beautiful ruby red. The bouquet is divided between small red and black fruits and floral notes. With age, they will shift to undergrowth and spices. It shares with Volnay the image of a feminine wine. Velvety and quite firm, its flesh rests on fine tannins

Winemaking Process: Their wines age in Merrain French oak barrels for 18 months and our vintages contain from 25% to 100% new barrels depending on the appellation. The exact percentages are not disclosed

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
