Bourgogne Olivier Guyot 2001
The 2001 Bourgogne by Olivier Guyot is a French red wine crafted exclusively from hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes sourced from old vines. Vinified to highlight the inherent qualities of the terroir, the wine is aged in oak barrels and bottled unfiltered directly at the domaine.
Pinot Noir is an elegant blue grape that is prominently grown in regions like Champagne, Germany, Oregon, California, and most notably, Bourgogne. Located in eastern France, the Bourgogne region was historically shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the area's countless terroirs. The region has turned terroir into an art form with its intricate system of climats, where the limestone soil provides the foundation for highly sought-after wines.
The wine holds the Appellation Bourgogne Contrôlée classification, a regional appellation established in 1937 that spans from the Yonne department in the north to the Rhône department in the south. The area features a predominantly continental climate with cold winters, cool springs, and warm summers, creating ideal conditions for early-ripening grape varieties. The soils are dominated by a classic mixture of clay and limestone. These regional characteristics are reflected in the 2001 vintage, which achieved a score of 90 points and is described as elegant, acid-driven, and classic.
