2005 Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru La Richemone, Alain Michelot
A steep-sloped, deep-soiled, 1.5-hectare vineyard, shared solely by Michelot and Moillard, to the north of the commune near Vosne-Romanée. The wine is wonderfully smooth on the palate with great supple texture and depth of cherry fruit. Tannins are firm, but with an underlying elegance and notes of stone fruit are carried on a long, fresh finish.
