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.
The Côtes de Nuits Villages will spend 16 months in barrel (perhaps longer than I would expect). It has a crisp, slightly pinched blackberry and briary-scented bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied, smooth and supple with sappy red berry fruit, a little spiciness creeping in towards the compact, nicely structured finish. Drink 2017-2023.
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.
