Fixin Crais de Chêne René Bouvier (Domaine) 2003

La «cuvée»

As its name suggests, this wine takes its strength from the stony, clay soil in which the grapes were grown. Its appearance is a deep purple and its nose reveals aromas of violets and cloves. To taste, the tannins are present when the wine is young but soften in time, offering an ample and mineral palate. The salty finish offers a lingering finish. It has superb cellaring potential and will be perfect as an accompaniment for grilled red meat or a mushroom stew.

In the family for 3 generations, Domaine René Bouvier is today run by Bernard Bouvier. It has 17 hectares of vines and 18 appellations, ranging from Marsannay to Gevrey-Chambertin. The domaine covers, like many wine growers in the region, a wide range of grand crus, premier crus, villages and regional appellations. Despite the differences, the entire range has been certified organic since 2013. The age of the vines (up to 90 years old) gives these wines a complex character. This area has made considerable progress in recent years, notably thanks to finer extractions than before.
