Domaine des Perdrix
Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Terres Blanches (Rouge) 2021
Cask sample. Lightish crimson. Scented with tart dark-red fruits and a lovely savoury edge that brings a touch of Nuits pepperiness. Firm, pure; the tannins so fine that you barely notice them as they shape the fruit. Dry, mouth-watering and perfectly balanced. Needs time.
