Domaine Philippe Gavignet in Nuits-Saint-Georges is today run by the fourth and fifth generations of the Gavignet family, Benoit and his son Philippe. The 30-acre estate includes parcels in thirteen appellations. The domaine produces Premier Cru and villages Pinot Noir, as well as Chardonnay and Aligoté. Wine Advocate has noted that the estate is good “creating unpretentious, well-crafted, natural wines that will give much pleasure in the short and medium-term.”
Clos des Argillieres is a 5.6-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Nuits-Saints-Georges appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote-de-Nuits. It is one of a string of Premier Cru vineyards on the southern edge of the appellation that are in the commune of Premeaux. These vineyards are steep and Burgundy writer Clive Coates has called the wines of these vineyards “sturdy, muscular and masculine.”
This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
