Description

A captivating crimson hue introduces this Nuits Saint Georges Pinot Noir, offering an earthy nose reminiscent of Nuits with a subtle infusion of vanilla bean; on the palate, the experience unfolds with smoky, velvety-textured fruit devoid of tannins but perfectly balanced by lively acids, resulting in an exquisite and weightless Pinot expression that showcases the harmonious marriage of flavors; meticulously crafted from a blend of fruits sourced from five distinct climates—Plateaux, Belles Croix, Fleurières, Brûlées, and Chaliots—encompassing a 2-hectare surface on the Henri Gouges property, these vines flourish at the southern foothills of Nuits Saint Georges, on deep soils enriched with clay, alluvium, and limestone gravels; presenting a pure and generous character, this wine, a testament to its terroir, requires a few years to fully unveil its true potential, promising a journey of depth and refinement.

Review

Racked to tank to bottle before Christmas. A massively deep black colour with a purple rim. The nose is supercharged, too flamboyant perhaps, but works better in the mouth. Some pepper behind with plenty of juice, recognisably Nuits with very good length.

Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with a variety of dishes, with notable compatibility to the rich flavors of duck, goose, and game birds.
