Cheverny "La Gravotte" - 2023 - Thierry Puzelat - Magnum
Clos Tue-Boeuf
A delectable Pinot Noir, driven by its fruit... Tasting superb from the barrel, it will surely become closed for a time after bottling – will benefit from cellaring.

A cuvée of mainly Pinot Noir with a little Gamay, grown on a soil of flinty clay over white flinty chalk known as craie de Blois, over a 1.7-hecatre parcel. The vines are around 40 years old. The vines are co-planted, meaning that all grape varieties are harvested by hand and vinified at the same time. Viticulture and vinification are 100% natural. Matured 6 months in demi-muid and Burgundy barrels, without new oak. Bottled at the estate on the 15th of March 2024 without fining or filtration, just a micro-dose of sulphur.
