The 2019 René Bouvier Gevrey-Chambertin Racines du Temps Très Vieilles Vignes is a distinguished red Burgundy from the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation, known for its powerful and structured Pinot Noir wines. This particular cuvée is crafted from 90-year-old vines (some sources even mention 100-year-old vines) from two plots, Le Créot and Pince-vin, which contribute to its intensity and depth. Domaine René Bouvier, run by Bernard Bouvier since 1992, emphasizes environmentally friendly viticulture and careful vineyard management, including hand-picking and gravity-fed winemaking. 【Crafted from exceptionally old vines (90-100 years) for remarkable intensity and depth】. Tasting notes for this wine highlight a very complex expression, combining ripe concentrated fruit, violet, heather, spicy roots, and citrus fruit, with a freshness that leads to a very long, smooth finish. It offers a concentrated texture and viscosity without sugary heaviness. Other notes include red fruit (strawberry), vanilla, oak, butter, mushroom, forest floor, licorice, and black fruit. The wine is aged for 18 months in barrels, with about 30% new oak. This wine has excellent aging potential, capable of cellaring for 15 years or more.
