Nuits-Saint-Georges 2018
-
Concentrated and perfectly balanced, our Nuits-Saint-Georges 2018 shows a ruby color with hints of purple. Its nose is clean and intense, revealing notes typical of Kirsch: morello cherries, blackberries and blueberries. The palate is marked by notes of sweet spices. The tannins are supple and silky, as taut as the finish is long and fruity.
