Manuel Olivier Gevrey Chambertin 2019

Still red wine from Burgundy, 14% ABV, produced by Manuel Olivier. 100% Pinot Noir. 0.75L bottle, 2019 vintage. A Gevrey-Chambertin that embodies the elegance and complexity of Burgundian Pinot Noir, the fruit of a family tradition passed down for four generations. Fermentation: 50% of the entire harvest is placed on the bottom of the vat, the remaining 50% is destemmed and added to the vat. Cold maceration for one week, indigenous yeasts, tank for 5-6 weeks at 30°C. Pigeage and pumping over based on the results of daily tastings. Aged for 18 months on the fine lees in oak barrels (30% new barrels, 30% single-variety barrels, 30% barrels over 3 years old). 36 months of drying in Allier and Vosges oak barrels. Light, slow, and long toasting of the wood. The nose reveals aromas of red fruits, particularly blackcurrant, accompanied by musky notes. On the palate, the wine is austere and robust, with a long, tannic finish.
