Tasting Note:-
An intense, deeply coloured wine, showing pronounced, complex fruit of cherries, blackcurrents and violets, with truffles and spice. Subtle and integrated oak flavours on the palate with peppery notes, this wine is medium bodied, concentrated and admirably long on the finish.
Vinification:-
Traditional open vat fermentation followed by 18 months ageing in oak barrel.
Description :-
The most southerly of the villages of the Côte de Nuits this region makes up the other half of the Côte d’Or. There is even an equivalent to the Hospices de Beaune Auction called the Hospices de Nuits Auction although it rarely inspires as much interest as its neighbour to the south. The wine is firm and usually requires some time before allowing its Pinot character to shine through.
