This stretch, between Nuits St Georges and Dijon, is home to the greatest Pinot Noirs in the world. The 2020s have a combined richness and freshness that set them apart, and promise excellent ageing potential.
This monopole vineyard spans over seven hectares of limestone hillside, accounting for almost half the domaine’s production. It has a dark, swirling concentration of blackberries and spice. The tannins in this young wine are firm, and built for the long haul. Rich and powerful, long and tense.
This cuvée first appeared in 2015. It is made from the young(er) vines of the Clos de l’Arlot that had once been labelled ‘Petit Arlot’. It consistently proves its worth as a separate bottling with every new vintage: in 2020, whisper it, it might even steal the show. It is so intense, but with a crunchy purity and red fruit drive, a sophisticated aromatic profile, silky tannins, and a long elegant finish. Everything is in perfect balance.
The domaine purchased this plot of Vosne premier cru in the 1990s, and since then has been making this superb cuvée. Creamy, dark cassis fruit, and briary notes announce a serious Suchots. One third whole bunch helps the palate stay agile and fresh. It has a touch of licorice spice on the finish. Impressive.
