Tasting notes: In this little-known Côte de Nuits appellation, the wines are silky, with an assertive. "Côte de Nuits" structure but more rustic tannins than the neighboring Nuiton. The wine is sunny and ripe, with lovely black fruit aromas. On the palate, the tannins are supple, jaminy fruit aromas combine with a light woodiness and a floral touch to sustain the length. A fine acidity balances this generous mouthfeel, to be enjoyed with Orloff-style veal, roast Bresse chicken or mature Cantal cheese.
