Nuits-Saint-Georges sits at the southern end of the Côte de Nuits and is known for some of the firmest, most deeply fruited Pinot Noir in Burgundy. Gavignet's style softens those edges without losing the village's backbone, with sustainably farmed (lutte raisonnée) clay-limestone parcels and a gentle hand in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Vieilles Vignes\" draws on estate parcels around the village planted with vines averaging 50 to 80 years old. Old vines give small crops of small, thick-skinned berries, and that shows in the wine's concentration. The 2023 was hand-harvested, fully destemmed, and fermented with native yeasts in open vats before 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, roughly 30% new. The result is classic Nuits structure delivered with real polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVillage Nuits-Saint-Georges with old-vine depth, balancing firm structure with refined, velvety tannins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark cherry, black raspberry, and violet petals on the nose, with a note of cocoa nib.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForest floor and subtle leather layer under a core of ripe black fruit, lifted by bright acidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA long, savory finish with fine-grained tannins and no rustic edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking well now with a decant, with the stuffing to reward cellaring through the late 2030s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe at cool room temperature, between 58°F and 62°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecant for about 45 minutes to let the dark fruit and earthy aromatics open up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into Burgundy stems to gather its floral, spicy perfume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with seared duck breast with morel jus, roasted pork tenderloin with wild mushrooms, or a slow-braised beef bourguignon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48062402428982,"sku":"SOMM2610-DPG23NSGVV-750","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2023DomainePhilippeGavignet_Nuits-Saint-GeorgesVieillesVignes.png?v=1791919247","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2023-domaine-philippe-gavignet-nuits-saint-georges-vieilles-vignes","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
