Domaine Philippe Gavignet Nuits Saint Georges “La Charmotte”

Presentation of Domaine Philippe Gavignet Nuits Saint Georges “La Charmotte”

The Nuits Saint Georges “La Charmotte” by Philippe Gavignet is a vintage of finesse and elegance. This vineyard is located in the northern part of the appellation, just below the “Aux Bousselots” premier crus. The soils are clayey and come from silt to pebbles coming down from the Coast, from alluvium from the Meuzin valley when they are not located at the top of the hillside. Half of the vines were planted in 1955 and the other half in 1971. The color is brilliant, a bright ruby ​​red. On the nose, this is a very charming Charmottes, expressing itself through a nose of roses, subtly liquorice. In the mouth it is tactile, smooth, sapid and the finish lingers on a “sandy” tannic structure.
