2023 Domaine Antoine Lienhardt Coteaux Bourguignons Rouge “GamayOptère" (Case of 6)

6x750ML 

100% Gamay purchased from a biodynamic grower in Fixin. 100% whole clusters vinified in stainless steel and aged for 10 months in old barrels. This is a super delicious, crunchy Gamay from limestone soils.

Antoine Lienhardt is one of the most exciting growers in Burgundy today. He makes tiny quantities of deliciously high-toned, lifted, profoundly soulful wines that speak confidently of their terroir.

The brightness and verve of Antoine’s wines are paving a path for the future of Burgundy. At the nexus of natural winemaking and legendary terroir, it’s no wonder he’s gained an almost-rabid following by those in the know. 

Through his focus in the vineyard, Antoine brings to life his belief that the under-celebrated terroir of his home village (the southernmost in the Côte de Nuits) ranks with the nearby Grand Crus. We are inclined to agree.

Antoine’s delicate approach delivers red wines with ripe, resonant, pure Pinot fruit balanced by electric acidity, weightless drive, and cooling mineral verve.
