Product notes
This wine comes from plots that are nicely spread out over this appellation and are subjected to regular quality checks. This ensures the quality of the grapes and the professionalism of the producers with whom they are in partnership.
Production notes
The wine is matured for 8 to 10 months in our cellars in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Part of the cuvee, which varies depending on the vintage, is raised in oak barrels. These barrels come from high-quality barrel makers and have been rigorously selected for their fine grain and light toast.
Tasting notes
A brilliant pale yellow color with green glimmers. The very nice expressive nose has white flower scents. The attack is bold and generous. This wine, which is balanced on the palate, has good volume and quite exceptional long-lasting scents and tastes for this appellation. It is very good quality for money and is already very pleasurable to taste now. Pairing: Fish 'en papillotes', terrines, white meats.
