Côte-de-Nuits-Villages

The grapes for this appellation come from villages located in the northern and southern parts of the Côte de Nuits, essentially from plots in Brochon (near Gevrey-Chambertin) and Corgoloin-Comblanchien (near Nuits-Saint-Georges).

Tasting

The nose features red and black fruit (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry…) underpinned by a hint of smoke. Just as appealing on the palate, with structure provided by very soft, well-integrated tannins. A hint of liquorice on the finish.
