The family-run Domaine René Bouvier owns 30 hectares of vines (≈ 74 acres), all in the Côte de Nuits. The estate, located in Gevrey-Chambertin, has been managed by Bernard Bouvier since 1992.
The winery produces a range of 26 different wines, ranging from the Bourgogne appellation to the most famous Grand Cru wines: Charmes-Chambertin and Echezeaux. The grapes are entirely harvested by hand, with 23 hectares (≈ 57 acres) producing red wines and 7 hectares (≈ 17 acres) producing white wines, including Marsannay Le Clos, a monopole (a vineyard owned by only one winegrower). The estate vineyards extend from the ancient terroirs (a combination of soil, slope, exposure, climate, and human expertise) of the Dukes of Burgundy, near Dijon, to the well-known wine-producing village of Vosne-Romanée. Most of the climats (vineyard plots in Burgundy) are located in the appellations Marsannay, Fixin, and Gevrey-Chambertin.
René Bouvier Vieilles Vignes Chambolle-Musigny 2020
R2,011.00
Region: Chambolle-Musigny, Burgundy
Tasting note:
“This cuvée is perfectly representative of the appellation, since it comes from several plots spread over the village area (60-year-old vines). Chambolle-Musigny is a wine that combines the elegance and complexity of the vines in the centre of the village with the vigour of those from the limits of the Morey-Saint-Denis appellation. The old vines bring depth, with complex tasty fruit flavours: cherry, raspberry, spices, and violets. The lingering finish ends with a touch of salinity.
Although this wine can be kept, it can also be drunk in the first 5 years by decanting one hour before serving” – Winemaker
