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 single vineyard Côtes de Nuits-Village wine is a firm Lay & Wheeler favourite. In 2020 it has a pretty frame, built around fragrant, peppery red fruit. The palate has a straight and incisive mineral line, giving it wonderful freshness. This outplays many wines from grander communes every year, and 2020 is no exception.
Clos de Vougeot is a huge vineyard, so it matters where you’re placed. Jean-Marc Millot’s plot is in Grand Maupertui, which borders Grands-Echézeaux, often considered the finest part of the vineyard. This is a big wine in 2020, with black licorice, raspberry, and salty minerality. Ample and distinguished.
This comes from two sites in Vosne, one bordering Suchots (Hautes Maizières) and the other Clos Vougeot (Les Violettes). It has a fresh, bright drive, with a silky fluidity to the cherry fruit palate. Voluminous and sophisticated, and every inch of its prestigious communes.
