Domaine du Vieux Collège, Bourgogne Rouge “Les Champs Foreys” Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France 2018 (750mL)

Since 2006, Eric Guyard has managed his family’s Domaine du Vieux Collège, whose vineyards now span 25 hectares through Marsannay, Fixin, and Gevrey-Chambertin. In his tenure, Eric has focused on showcasing tiny, special sites like “Les Champs Foreys,” and propelled the estate towards its organic certification (via Ecocert) in 2014. “Les Champs Foreys,” translating to “The Foreys Fields,” is a lieu-dit in the village of Marsannay-La-Côte that brushes up against a more famous site called “Les Récilles.” By law, “Les Récilles” is a classified site for the Marsannay appellation, while “Les Champs Foreys” is not, meaning it attaches its name to the catch-all “Bourgogne” designation.
