Product details
Hailing from the prestigious Hospices de Beaune collection, this Volnay-Santenots 1er Cru Cuvée Gauvain reflects centuries of tradition and the renowned Albert Bichot stewardship in Beaune’s Côte de Beaune region. Sourced from gently sloping plots with clay-stone soils in Santenots du Milieu and Les Plures, this parcel offers a refined richness complemented by typical Volnay elegance. Albert Bichot acquires and matures these cuvées with care, emphasizing precision and layered complexity in each vintage.
This 2022 expression opens with brilliant red hues and a persistent freshness. Aromas of red and black berries, accompanied by a subtle menthol nuance, give way to a fine yet unctuous mouthfeel with elegant tannins and clear structure. The finish is precise and refined, delivering a graceful and lingering impression. Ideal pairings include duck aiguillettes and free-range lamb, where the cuvée’s depth and finesse shine alongside richly textured dishes.
