Maison Louis Chavy, Bourgogne Tastevine, Red
Maison Louis Chavy was founded 60 years ago by Louis Chavy, a grower in Puligny-Montrachet. After studying oenology in Dijon, he began producing a wide range of wines from the Côte de Beaune and quickly expanded to the rest of Burgundy. Today, Maison Louis Chavy remains a small, highly specialized négociant focused on quality wines, particularly from the Côte de Beaune, Côte de Nuits, and Côte Chalonnaise.
Presentation
With grapes sourced from old vines on granit soils, this smooth and round red benefits from warm summers, cooler nights and a little rain - the perfect combination to achieve a great maturation and express fruity notes.
Winemaking
Cold pre-fermentation maceration lasts 5 to 6 days. The alcoholic fermentation lasts about a fortnight, with two pumpings daily, without pigeage to avoid extracting too much tannins. The must is then pressed gently using a pneumatic press. Breeding lasts between 10 and 12 months in vats.
