The 2014 Chorey-lès-Beaune is a beautifully understated Burgundy, marked by the elegance and finesse of a cooler vintage. On the nose, it reveals lifted aromas of redcurrant, cherry skin, wild strawberry, and dried rose petals, underscored by hints of forest floor and savory spice. The palate is supple and finely textured, with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a graceful mineral thread that carries through to a delicate, lingering finish. This wine captures the quiet charm of its village—lithe, refined, and soulful. A lovely choice for Burgundy lovers seeking nuance, approachability, and honest craftsmanship.
Domaine François Gay is one of Burgundy’s true hidden gems—a small, family-run estate with deep roots in the village of Chorey-lès-Beaune. With just under 7 hectares under vine, the domaine produces a highly limited but deeply expressive portfolio of classic Côte de Beaune wines. Now managed by François’s son, Laurent Gay, the estate maintains a traditional, hands-on approach: careful vineyard work, low yields, native fermentations, and aging in mostly older French oak. Known for its integrity and understated brilliance, the domaine is sought after by Burgundy insiders who prize purity over pretense. With tiny production and old-vine holdings, François Gay’s wines offer exceptional value and terroir expression in a region increasingly dominated by big names.
