RATINGS

91Wine Spectator

Pungent, with an underlying earthiness adding depth to the black cherry, plum, chocolate and spice notes.

91Stephen Tanzer

Full ruby-red. Very pure, vibrant aromas of musky minerals, crushed stone and flowers. Densely packed but a bit imploded today, with superb intensity and precision to its red berry and mineral flavors...

90The Wine Advocate

...evinces cranberry, raspberry, licorice and vanilla in the nose. Displaying real depth and grip on the palate, it suggests subtle caramelization of fruit and marrowy low tones, with a creamy texture emerging.

...exceptionally ripe and rich flavors that explode on the mouth coating and hugely long finish...the sheer depth of extract is incredibly impressive as is the superb phenolic ripeness...One to buy.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Mossy, leafy notes on the nose. Sweet and intense and charming on the front palate but with very good intensity and balance on the palate. Lovely wine. A certain sweetness.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits-Villages, Gevrey-Chambertin

Côte de Nuits is the northern part of the Côte d’Or and it includes the most famous vineyards and wine communes in the world. There are more Grand Cru appellations in the Côte de Nuits than anywhere else in Burgundy. Of the fourteen communes, or villages in the Côte de Nuits, six produce Grand Cru wines. They are Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-St.-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Flagey-Échezeaux and Vosne-Romanee. Some of the vineyards within the Côte de Nuits are tiny, which adds to their prestige. The fabled Grand Cru vineyard La Romanee is barely two square acres. Altogether there are twenty-four Grand Cru vineyards. The region takes its name from the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Côtes de Nuits produces mostly reds from Pinot Noir, and the wines have been in demand for centuries. During the 18th century King Louis XIV’s physician recommended that for his health the king only drink wines from Nuits-Saint-Georges. Like most of Burgundy, the soils of the Côte de Nuit can vary greatly from one vineyard to another, though most are a base soil of limestone mixed with clay, gravel and sand.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

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.
