Marsannay en Ouzeloy 2020 Rene Bouvier

This is an airy, perfumed wine, with delicate body, supported by discrete but very present tannins. Very seductive with its palette of fresh raspberry, peony, hawthorn, and a fine spicy saline finish, it is sometimes called chambolien (in reference to Chambolle-Musigny), as its structure is so charming. The finish is mineral and it is an ideal red to pair with fish.

'En Ouzeloy' is a climat located at the mouth of a small valley, where the soil is formed from limestone scree, mixed with clay from an alluvial fan. The 1 hectare plot is composed of 60-year-old vines.

The Estate
The family-run Domaine René Bouvier owns 30 hectares of vines, all in the Côte de Nuits. The estate, located in Gevrey-Chambertin, has been managed by Bernard Bouvier since 1992.
The winery produces a range of 26 different wines, ranging from the Bourgogne appellation to the most famous Grand Cru wines: Charmes-Chambertin and Echezeaux. The grapes are entirely harvested by hand, with 23 hectares producing red wines and 7 hectares producing white wines, including Marsannay Le Clos, a monopole (a vineyard owned by only one winegrower). The estate vineyards extend from the ancient terroirs of the Dukes of Burgundy, near Dijon, to the well-known wine-producing village of Vosne-Romanée.  Most of the climats are located in the appellations Marsannay, Fixin, and Gevrey-Chambertin.
