From the website: https://m.drouhin.com
This wine is an assemblage of villages from the southern end of the Côte de Nuits: Corgoloin, Comblanchien, Premeaux, Brochon, Couchey. The name "Côte de Nuits" comes from the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges, like Beaune, the capital of its own Côte (or slope). The soils are clay and limestone.
The fruit is handpicked and sorted before fermentation in French oak barrels (10% in new oak).for 12 to 15 months.
Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
"A delicious red Burgundy, with harmonious flavours. Bright ruby colour. On the nose, intense aromas of wild cherry, liquorice and mild spices, evolving towards notes of undergrowth and mushroom. On the palate, excellent balance between tannin, acidity and "gras" (velvety texture). The aftertaste is reminiscent of little red berries".
Cellaring: 3 to 12 years.
