Nuits Saint Georges Les Hauts Poirets 2016Once again there is just enough wood present on the cool, pure and earthy aromas of both red and dark currant to warranting mentioning. I very much like the mouthfeel of the energetic and relatively sleek flavors thanks to the fine grained tannins shaping the balanced and sneaky long finale. This is also really quite good for a villages level Nuits and worth considering. Country Region: France, Burgundy Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir Bottle Size:

This vintage is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon

showcasing waves of fruit

but beautifully poised

offering ethereal red fruits and the exotic spice notes characteristic of Vosne Romanée

Bonnes-Mares is known for combining muscular structure with ethereal elegance

The cooler vintage conditions have produced a wine of particular transparency

Merlot 15%

it allows a glimpse at its incredible depth of flavors with a very long multi-layered finish

with ripe fruit richness balanced by a firm mineral spine of wet limestone

at least not yet though that may well change with bottle age

The aftertaste is magnificent

Sémillon 40%
