✨ Technical Specifications
Averys Fine Red Burgundy represents a historic lineage of merchant-selected wines, a tradition dating back to the late 18th century when the Avery family began sourcing exceptional barrels directly from Burgundy's finest cellars. This regional expression captures the classic terroir of the region, where Pinot Noir thrives on ancient limestone and clay soils. Traditionally selected by Averys' buyers to showcase a quintessential Burgundian character, this wine is crafted using traditional fermentation methods and gentle oak aging. It tells a story of historic Anglo-French wine trade, offering a bright, red-fruit-forward profile with subtle earthy undertones, reflecting the elegance and finesse that made Burgundy a cornerstone of the historic Bristol cellars.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Bristol in 1793, Averys is one of the United Kingdom's oldest and most historic independent wine merchants and négociant houses. Throughout the twentieth century, under the visionary leadership of Ronald Avery and subsequently his son John Avery MW, the firm cemented an international reputation as an adventurous pioneer. Averys was among the very first British merchants to champion Bordeaux's Right Bank estates—introducing Château Pétrus to the UK market—and broke early ground importing nascent New World benchmarks from California and Australia. Operating as a négociant selector, Averys partners closely with family-owned domaines across classic European appellations including Champagne, Burgundy, the Loire, Pfalz, and Rioja. Across its diverse portfolio, the merchant prioritizes expressive varietal clarity, classic regional typicity, and balanced viticulture. Benchmark own-label releases like their Special Cuvée Brut Champagne, Fine White Burgundy, and Fine Riesling showcase Averys' enduring cellar heritage and palate for authentic terroir-driven wines.
