Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes

2016 - Devastating frost in April resulted in limited production for many, challenges combating mildew for some, but a warm dry summer helped to achieve good ripeness overall. Fruit from 3 old vine parcels on the north side totalling 0.59ha – Aux Tuyaux, Aux Herbues, Au Bas de Combe.

2017 - Warm spring with frost mostly avoided. Hot/warm weather for spring and summer leading to an early harvest. Picking dates are essential due to the risk of rain. A plentiful harvest. Fruit from 3 old vine parcels on the north side totalling 0.59ha – Aux Tuyaux, Aux Herbues, Au Bas de Combe.

All vintages: Vines average 55+ years. 100% de-stemmed fruit, aged in oak with 25% new.

Tasting Note: 2016 - Cherry and red plum with red flowers and forest floor on the nose. Medium-bodied with a velvety texture, ripe tannins, vibrant acid and juicy fruit core. Great length with a smoky spice note.

2017 - Pretty aromas of red flowers, strawberry, red currants, red plums. Juicy red fruits on the palate, fresh acidity, fine tannins, a medium-bodied frame, refreshing on the finish with hints of earth and stone.
