2020 | Domaine René Bouvier | Crais de Chene Fixin

Very beautiful, brilliant ruby ​​colour. Depth of the nose which makes us capsize irremediably on the side of the nobility of Burgundian expression with these small ripe and fresh red fruits like raspberry, wild strawberry, cherry associated with this touch of perfectly managed breeding. The palate is slender, really greedy with this freshness and this expressive uprightness carried by extremely fine tannins.

Reviews:

• Tim Atkin: A complex and intense wine with aromas of tobacco, brown spices, earth and game.

Producer Information

Domaine René Bouvier is a wine producer located in the village of Brochon, in the northern Côtes de Nuits subregion of Burgundy's Côte d'Or heartland, just north of Gevrey-Chambertin. It produces a range of labels and wines from the wider Côte de Nuits, covering both the local mainstays (Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) as well as some Aligoté. The domaine covers roughly 30 hectares (74 acres) of vineyard plots, predominantly across the neighboring Marsannay and Gevrey-Chambertin appellations, although fruit is sourced from as far south as Echezeaux. Production is predominantly red wines with 23 hectares () of Pinot Noir and the remaining seven covered by Chardonnay and Aligoté. The range covers nearly all quality levels of Burgundy, including grands crus (from Echezeaux and Charmes-Chambertin) and premiers crus in Gevrey (Les Champeaux, Combe au Moine and Les Fontenys) and Chambolle-Musigny (Les Fuées and Les Sentiers) just to the south. Village-level wines are sourced from across the Côte de Nuits with "Vieilles Vignes" (old vines) and single-vineyard villages labels in Gevrey, Chambolle, Morey-Saint-Denis, Fixin and Marsannay, as well as a standard, village-level, Vosne-Romanée. A Côtes de Nuits-Villages is also produced from a half-hectare (one-acre) site in Brochon.
