WINE DESCRIPTION

Francois Gay et Fils Chorey-les-Beaune is a delicate, perfumed red wine produced using the Pinot Noir variety. Francois Gay et Fils is a family-operated and owned estate located in Chorey-les-Beaune itself. They are focused on working in a sustainable fashion by reducing chemical inputs. The grapes are exclusively hand harvested, before they are crushed and vinified. Following on from the fermentation, the wines undergo process of maturation for around 18 months in French oak barrels prior to bottling.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Francois Gay et Fils Chorey-les-Beaune has a pale to medium ruby color, with hints of garnet as it ages typical of a thin-skinned cultivar like Pinot Noir.On the nose, aromas of red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, along with floral notes and a touch of earthiness slowly waft from the glass. On the palate, this wine offers a medium body with a silky texture, lifted by juicy acidity that provides a mouth-watering sensation. The fragrant and perfumed flavors are well-balanced, showcasing the elegant façade of Pinot Noir, complemented by subtle oak influences that linger on the finish.
