The AOC was created in 1993. The reds are produced from Pinot Noir, whereas the rosés can be produced from Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.

Planted to Pinot Noir like it is today, it produces reds that are stunningly distinct and assertive. Their mid-palate is intensely mineral, and their finishes long and chalky. The fruit is so vibrant and acidulated in red fruit vintages that it feels bioluminescent, and even black fruit vintages in Epineuil have the energy of red fruit. Dominique’s whole-cluster, light extraction, low sulfur winemaking is fruit-driven and transparent. Rare are the pinots in Burgundy that combine such vivacity, chalkiness and sexiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmart people will get past the regional classification and think of these not as Bourgogne but as Epineuil, which nineteenth century authors thought was superior to Irancy. Not only are Dominique’s wines some of the greatest values for Pinot Noir, they have a magnificent identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fantastic everyday Pinot, light, lovely aromatics and refreshing...Won't disappoint. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Domaine Dominique Gruhier \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burgundy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bourgogne Epineuil \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakthru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795185336456,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/2239\/7832\/files\/PhotoRoom_031_20231130_070249_98a765f7-9678-4a74-8807-39df99f871e1.jpg?v=1793315082","url":"https:\/\/vinonueva.com\/products\/dominique-gruhier-bourgogne-epineuil-2023","provider":"VinoNueva Fine \u0026 Rare Wine Miami","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
