Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017

With a medium ruby color, this Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017 is a balanced and concentrated red wine. The nose is clean and intense, with aromas of black cherries, blackberries, and blackcurrant. The palate also reveals flavors of sweet spices like cinnamon. The tannins are soft and silky, while the finish is long and fruity. It is approachable now while able to age gracefully for several years.

Divided into two parts in Côte de Nuits, between Prémeaux and Vosne-Romanée, the appellation of Nuits-Saint-Georges Pinot Noir grapes from the clay-rich “Les Chaliots” produce a full-bodied and well-balanced red wine enjoyable today, but ageable for years.

Hand-harvested grapes, hand-sorted on a vibrating table. 100% de-stemmed, placed into stainless steel fermentation vats by gravity flow. Weeks-long maceration, minimal pumping-over and punching-down. Pressing in pneumatic press. Placed in French oak barrels for aging on fine lees. Not filtered.
