✨ Technical Specifications
Averys of Bristol has a legendary history of sourcing exceptional parcels from Burgundy's finest terroirs. Their Vieilles Vignes (Old Vines) Red Burgundy represents this traditional merchant craftsmanship, selecting Pinot Noir from older vineyards where deep root systems draw complex mineral characters from the classic limestone and clay soils of the region. Historically, Averys' buyers, including the late John Avery MW, built deep personal relationships with local growers, allowing them to secure high-quality fruit that captures the classic, elegant, and red-fruit-driven style of traditional Burgundy. This wine showcases the vibrant acidity, soft tannins, and earthy undertones characteristic of old-vine Pinot Noir nurtured by centuries of Burgundian winemaking heritage.
