Côte de Nuits-Villages, 2023

At the gates of the Côte de Nuits, this little appellation, often overlooked, gives pride of place to the finesse and elegance characteristic of its illustrious neighbors. We craft our Cuvée with the greatest care, and with the desire to reveal the right expression of the local typicity, while respecting the identity and influence of the vintage. The grapes come from the villages of Fixin, Brochon, Premeaux, Comblanchien and / or Corgoloin.

Despite the unsettled weather over the summer, the 2023 vintage has turned out to be a delightful surprise, with Pinot Noir proving, once again, its status as the king of grape varieties. Following a often rigorous selection process, made easier by the lower yields, some truly superb grapes were harvested. As a result, the red wines reveal lovely aromatic complexity, with a fresh and lively palate, enriched by well-integrated tannins. The result is delicious, supple wines, perfect for immediate enjoyment, but also offering ageing potential of 2 to 5 years depending on the appellation.

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.
