Discover the grape variety: Goron de Bovernier
Its origin is most certainly Valdôtaine (Italy), still cultivated in the Entremont Valley in the Swiss Valais and totally unknown in other countries. It is the result of a natural cross between a still unknown or even extinct variety and the Cornalin du Valais or rouge du pays. It is the grandson of the humagne rouge or petit rouge and would also have genetic links with the rèze and the chasselas. The Goron de Bovernier is registered in the Official Catalogue of wine grape varieties list B.

The wine region of Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru
Burgundy/cote-de-nuits/nuits-saint-georges">Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru wines are those produced under the most-stringent conditions of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, exclusively from grapes grown in officially classified Premier Cru Vineyard sites. Nuits-Saint-Georges itself is a commune in the Cote de Nuits wine district of Burgundy. While the town does not boast any Grand Cru sites (unlike its neighbors), many of the 41 Premier Cru climats within its boundaries are considered to be amongst the finest in the district. A quarter of the appellation's Premier Cru sites are located within the commune of Premeaux-Prissey, just to the South of Nuits-Saint-Georges town.
The wine region of Burgundy
Bourgogne is the catch-all regional appellation title of the Burgundy wine region in eastern France ("Bourgogne" is the French name for Burgundy). Burgundy has a Complex and comprehensive appellation system; counting Premier Cru and Grand Cru titles, the region has over 700 appellation titles for its wines. Thus, Burgundy wines often come from one Vineyard (or several separate vineyards) without an appellation title specific to the region, Village or even vineyard. A standard Burgundy wine may be made from grapes grown in one or more of Burgundy's 300 communes.
The word of the wine: Cornalin
Black grape variety native to the Valais (Switzerland). It produces renowned wines of a dark purple colour with violet hues, an elegant bouquet and a powerful, fresh, fruity (cherry) and spicy palate. Cornalin wines can be drunk young or after several years of ageing, with game.
