Regions

Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France

The legendary village of Nuits-Saint-Georges is the winemaking home of Pascal Marchand, and the production and business centre of the Côte de Nuits. This wine is drawn from a blend of five vineyard plots, four to the north of the village near Vosne-Romanée and one to the south, and declares boldly the typical village characters of robustness, concentration and structure. Pinot Noir from Nuits-Saint-Georges integrates fruit and oak beautifully with time in bottle, and this wine already shows the exquisite balance that is a hallmark of the vintage

Tasting Notes

Vibrant deep ruby, the nose is enticing with rich fruit and subtle spice notes evolving. Fresh red berry and darker cherry fruit flavours energise the palate, the mouthfeel is silky and supporting oak notes are well integrated, some light caramel and allspice. Lovely balance and a very approachable Nuits-Saint-Georges exhibiting the powerful fruit intensity of this appellation and hinting at further complexity with age.
