The grapes for this appellation come from villages located in the northern and southern parts of the Côte de Nuits, essentially from plots in Brochon (near Gevrey-Chambertin) and Corgoloin-Comblanchien (near Nuits-Saint-Georges).
Tasting
The nose features red and black fruit (blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry…) underpinned by a hint of smoke. Just as appealing on the palate, with structure provided by very soft, well-integrated tannins. A hint of liquorice on the finish.
Food/wine pairing
Taste this wine with terrines and pâtés, roasted or stewed meats (lamb, pork, veal), or with medium cheeses.
Serving and keeping
Serve at 15-16°C (59-61°F).
Aging potential: 3 to 5 years and more.
