✨ 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.
