RATINGS

94The Wine Advocate

Here, it has a pure nose with perfumed dark cherry and blueberry fruit, the oak here well integrated whilst maintaining fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, well judged acidity, tensile with a finish that fans out gloriously.

93Burghound.com

There is excellent concentration to the robust and overtly muscular medium weight plus flavors that brim with dry extract on the structured and very firm but not hard finish that displays outstanding length...

91Wine Spectator

Austere, with pure cherry at the core, which may take a few years to emerge. Mineral, spice and light underbrush notes add depth, and this firms up on the long finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Spiced dark fruit. Inside the cloak of oak, fine dark fruit, harmony of freshness and firm but fine tannins. A well-proportioned whole. Mouthwateringly juicy on the finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Aux Malconsorts

Aux Malconsorts is an 14.6-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is on the appellation’s southern boundary with Nuits-Saints-Georges. The vineyard abuts La Tache, which is just to the north and has similar soil composition. Burgundy writer Clive Coates notes that Aux Malconsorts “can have flair, fat, finesse and a fine perfume.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
