Since its creation, F. Chauvenet has reflected its attachment to and respect for the Burgundian terroir in the making of its wines.
Medium ruby, light purple. A bouquet with aromas of small red and black fruits (strawberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant, blackberry) and flowers, mainly violets. Rich, with a powerful attack and silky tannins. It is an elegant and pleasant wine.
Perfect with offal, roast pork, rabbit, braised beef and exotic dishes such as chili. For cheeses, the choice is almost infinite: Maroilles, Munster, Epoisses, Saint-Marcellin, Tomme de Savoie and Reblochon.
Serve from 14 to 16°C.
Can be enjoyed in its youth, or wait 5 years in the cellar.
100% Pinot Noir.
Grapes are hand-picked, passed over a sorting table, crushed, de-stemmed, then vatted for about 15 days and matured in barrels for about 12 months.
The Côte de Beaune-Villages appellation is harvested in 14 communes located in the Côte d'Or and Saône-et-Loire departments. Only red wines are produced for this appellation. The Côte de Beaune stretches over only 20 kilometres or so, between Ladoix-Sérrigny and the magnificent hillside of the Maranges. The world's greatest dry white wines stand side by side with red wines of great reputation. The Côte de Beaune has a past steeped in history. The origin of the vine is very old. The monks of Cîteaux and Cluny have enhanced the countless vineyards that are still famous today.
