Gordes Frobenius honed his craft over several vintages under the tutelage of two luminaries of the Burgundy wine world: the venerable Eric Rousseau of Domaine Armand Rousseau and the revered Jean-François Germain, affectionately known as 'the grower's grower,' at Henri Germain.
Seasonality and terroir are the defining qualities of 1683 Wines, which are expressive yet delicately austere, always striving for the perfect balance of intensity and elegance. And in the tradition of Burgundy, the lucidity of single varieties is prized over blends. Not quite Old World and not quite New World, our wines display the best qualities of both.
Tasting Note:
This wine exhibits an inky purple to ruby red hue. On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet characterised by an abundance of dark fruit notes. Ripe blackberries, succulent black currants, and plump black cherries provide a lush and fruity aromatic experience. The structure is gracefully enhanced by moderate to firm tannins with notes of vanilla or toasty oak boasting a long and satisfying persistence.
