2019 Jean- Luc & Eric Burguet Vieilles Vignes, Mes Favorites, Gevrey- Chambertin, Burgundy, France

Pinot Noir planted from the 1910s to the 1970s. Organic viticulture, converting to biodynamic methods. 100% de-stemmed, indigenous yeast fermentation, minimal intervention. Aged for 20 months in barrel with 30% new. The bouquet, offers up scents of red and black cherries, smoked meats, a beautiful base of dark soil tones, cloves, roses, cedar and plenty of smokiness. On the palate the wine is deep, plush and full-bodied, with a superb core of fruit, ripe, seamless tannins, fine focus and grip and a long, complex and classy finish.
