The climates Au Bas de Combe and Aux Barrières make up our Nuits-Saint-Georges Village. Located at the northern end of Nuits, before the other climates of the Vosne-Romanée appellation, the clay-limestone soil is predominantly clayey.
The grapes are harvested and the harvest is sorted manually. Before alcoholic fermentation, a pre-fermentation cold maceration lasting 4 to 6 days helps to extract the phenolic compounds. The 15-day maceration with punching down without pumping over is carried out. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts. After maceration, press wine and free-run wine are separated and aged separately. 15 months including 30% new barrels.
Dark ruby garnet color. The nose develops spicy notes, black fruits and leather. The wine has a nice structure and chewiness. We find aromas of black fruits. The tannins are long and present. Pair with lamb, sweetbread and cheese.
There is enough wood to notice on the ripe yet nicely fresh aromas of menthol, essence of plum and red cherry. The surprisingly refined middleweight flavors possess excellent punch on the subtly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess notably better depth and persistence on the youthfully austere finale. Worth considering as this is markedly less rustic than usual.
Outstanding
