2019 Côte de Nuits

This vineyard is in the hills above Vosne, and enjoys a cooler microclimate thanks to its 437m elevation. There is a tiny bit of Pinot Blanc grown amongst Chardonnay here, and this wine has a lovely apricot perfume, and fresh citrus zip on the palate. Beautifully textured.

These vines were planted in 1965 and 1972. Aux Murgers is one of the warmer, and therefore earlier ripening sites in Nuits, and this 2019 is generous, luscious, whilst still vibrant, thanks to good picking decisions and sensitive vinification.

This is a brilliant ruby red, with an exuberantly crunchy red fruit-scented nose. The structure is cool and poised with bright acidity and good density of saline fruit. Lovely purity and drive.

Aux Boudots is a magnificent vineyard that borders Aux Malconsorts in Vosne. It produces some of the most luxurious and decadent wines of Nuits, with much of its neighbours character intertwined with its structred and muscular frame.

This is a blend of two parcels, one planted in the 1970s and 1980s, the other in the 1950s. It is raised in 50% new oak, which gives drama and texture to the sumptuous Vosne fruit.

This is sourced from two parcel, one with very old vnes that yields small, concentrated berries, and wonderfully balanced acidity and fruit, with smooth tannins.

This is a dark, wild, heady glass. It has the deep fruit and toothsome tannins of Fixin, which lies just north of Gevrey-Chambertin, but also that typical Méo silkiness. There is a minty character to the red fruit, and a beautifully held savoury finish.

This vineyard lies just below La Tâche towards the centre of the village. Its 2019 is so sumptuous and satin-like, with luxurious depth of silky fruit. You get lost in it with the first sip. Vosne at its best.
