GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Pinot Noir
100% Pee-NO NWAR
Pinot Noir is arguably the most revered grape variety in the world with origins in Burgundy, France where the best expressions can still be found. Pinot Noir is not only a tough grape to grow, it also shows miniscule differences in terroir arguably more than any other grape variety. Stylistically, it is generally higher in acid and lower in tannin but can vary depending on the location, and winemaking technique. It is very versatile with food, and shows a range of flavor from red and black fruit, floral, spice, earth, and mineral qualities.

Domaine Philippe Gavignet

Nuits-saint-georges

Philippe Gavignet is a fourth-generation winemaker in Nuits-Saint-Georges, making some of the most elegant village wines by a salt-of-the-earth guy whose wines are under the radar of most people. 

Philippe Gavignet in the vineyardsPhilippe Gavignet in the vineyards

The 24 acres of sustainably farmed vineyards of Philippe Gavignet are old, some dating back to the 1920s, making them naturally low-yielding. 

Phillip Gavignet’s wines are an honest expression of the terroir and stand-out in an area known for more tannic (less balanced) wines for their fruit, finesse and elegance.
