A good mix of aromas including an edge of dark olive. Ripe fruit coats the tongue – the structure is buried by this. Balanced and showing a good length. Another good villages.

Nicely focused red and black fruit with a hint of coffee. Vibrant, with a good depth of flavour. The tannin is just a little finer than the Pommard and there’s a decent length too.

A fresh and forward, though initially slightly diffuse nose of predominantly red fruit – becomes more interesting and ‘coulis’ in style in the glass. The concentrated palate strikes a masculine pose. Good acidity and intensity too. The finish is a good one, there’s nothing wimpy about this rather ‘honest’ bottle of Nuits. Recommended.
