Description

Maurice Gavignet Corton Grand Cru "Le Renardes" 2017

Coming from vines of average 50 years old from the Aloxe Corton grand cru vineyard of Le Renardes, on the lower part of the hill

Rich & deep in color. exuding the aroma of cherry brandy & oak. Full bodied, layered with red fruit & animal notes

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,
