Nuits-Saint-Georges, Rouge, 2021

A benchmark appellation of the Côte de Nuits and the cradle of the DUFOULEUR family, Nuits-Saint-Georges offers a wide range of terroirs, themselves the source of sometimes very different wines. The structure and concentration of the famous climats located in the south is matched by the elegance and charm of those located in the north. This cuvée from different climats rather expresses tenderness, allowing you to discover the wine from its earliest youth.

2021 will be remembered as a vintage where nature recalled its laws, with complicated and devastating agronomic conditions for the quantities harvested. Fortunately, the small yields favored maturity and the low alcohol levels a sensation of freshness not seen for several years. Delicate and very fragrant, digestible and delicious, with a beautiful burst of fruit, the reds will appeal to lovers of elegant and infused wines, defined by a very clear and precise reading of the terroirs.

12 to 18 months in French oak barrels of various capacities, ages and origins in order to smooth the impact of the wood as much as possible and allow a fair expression of the nuances of the appellation. No racking during aging and re-massing for 2 to 3 months before to clarify the wines as naturally as possible.
