2022 Nuits-St-Georges, Les Terrasses des Vallerots, Domaine Bertrand et Axelle Machard de Gramont

This is a flagship wine of the domaine, and at two and a half hectares represents around a third of production. It’s an incredibly steep site that’s very difficult to farm just above Les Vaucrains, which had been abandoned since the phylloxera crisis until Bertrand terraced and planted it in 2001. There is slightly darker, fuller fruit than that found in the 2019, but with the brightness of acidity it feels balanced and very complete, unforced and charming. The nose is packed full of wild red and black forest fruits and these continue on the palate, complemented by bright acidity, culminating in a mineral and fresh finish. Delicious.

Tasting notes

The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Terrasse de Vallerots comes from the top of the slope on man-made terraces, this cuvée from the youngest plantings. It has an attractive bouquet of red cherries and crushed strawberries. The medium-bodied palate has fine tannins and bright, tart red fruit with an easygoing, fresh finish. This will give several years of drinking pleasure.
