Tasting notes
(this cuvée includes the small quantity of domain vines that have not yet been replanted as well as vines from the heavily frosted La Petite Charmotte): Healthy dark red. Deeper-pitched and riper on the nose than the Pommard, offering aromas of redcurrant, smoke and game. A step up in sweetness as well, with redcurrant fruit lifted by a violet quality and complemented by sweet oak. A bit dusty but not dry on the back end.

The 2016 Nuits St Georges Villages has a floral bouquet, wilted violet petals intermingling with dark cherries and boysenberry fruit. The palate is sweet on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, fine tannin, well-integrated oak and a harmonious, surprisingly silky finish. This is very seductive and should drink well for several years.
