2021 Domaine Rene Bouvier Gevrey Chambertin Racine du Temps Très Vieilles Vignes 1 x 6 (in bond)
The 2021 Domaine René Bouvier Gevrey-Chambertin "Racine du Temps" Très Vieilles Vignes is sourced from two prestigious parcels, "Le Créot" and "Pince-Vin," spanning a combined area of one hectare. With an average vine age of 90 years, these ancient vineyards produce limited yields of small, intensely concentrated grapes, imparting remarkable depth and complexity to the wine.
The nose opens with an enticing bouquet of dark cherries, ripe blackberries, and crushed raspberries, intertwined with subtle notes of violet, earthy truffle, and a hint of sweet spice.
On the palate, the wine displays remarkable depth and concentration, a testament to its ancient vines. Juicy red and black fruit flavours are seamlessly layered with undertones of forest floor, smoky minerality, and a touch of clove. The tannins are velvety and well-integrated, providing structure and balance, while the vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and lively.
The finish is long and elegant, with lingering hints of cherry compote, fine spices, and a whisper of oak. This wine offers complexity and finesse with the potential to age beautifully over the next 10–15 years.
