2023 Clos du Tue-Boeuf Cheverny 'La Gravotte', Loire, France Bermejos Aging: 12 months in neutral95% Pinot Noir 5% Gamay. Named for the site, which roughly translates to "little gravelly one", Gravotte comes from a single 1. 2 hectare plot of estate vines in the 35 40 year old range, planted on particuarly stony, flinty clay limestone soils; it is organically farmed and harvested by hand. Typical of Tue Boeuf reds, the whole clusters go through a semi carbonic maceration and spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and without sulfur in vat.
