Description

Maurice Gavignet Pommard 2021

A magnificent estate, solid know-how and meticulous care for each of the wines produced; this is what clearly distinguishes Domaine Maurice Gavignet, and this Pommard is a shining example of this.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from the Pommard village of Cote de Beaune, Burgundy

Taste Profile: Notes of plum, cherrystone, white tobacco, and that Burgundian signature earthy minerality and good acidity

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

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
