Maurice Gavignet Savigny Les Beaunes "Les Liards" 2022

Maurice Gavignet is a family-owned winery in Burgundy, France, with a history spanning four generations. Founded by Honoré Gavignet in Nuits Saint Georges, he was born in 1879 and worked at the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti until 1920 before settling in Nuits-St-Georges.

Today, the domaine continues to be known for its Pinot Noir wines, particularly those from the Côte de Nuits region. Over the last decade, the Domaine has grown with vineyards on the Côte de Beaune at Monthelie, Santenay, Savigny les Beaune and Pommard. This is how the Domaine becomes one of the pearls of the Côte d'Orien vineyard.

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Pinot Noir from Savigny-Les-Beaune

Taste Profile: A beautiful ruby colour with floral and cherry aromas on the nose. Black fruit and soft spices are enveloped with smooth silky tannins.

Winemaking Process: The grapes are hand-picked, 100% de-stemmed and placed in vats. After a prefermentary cold maceration, the alcoholic fermentation begins. Punching of the cap is carried out during this fermentation twice a day.

The wine is then raised in oak barrels for 15 months (with 20% new oak). It is racked up to three times during this period and bottled after fining without being filtered to ensure all the aromas express themselves fully.
