Domaine Chevalier Côte de Nuits-Villages 2016
Côtes de Nuits-Villages, Côtes de Nuits, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceFrom 50 year old vines rooted in clay and chalky soils of the village of Corgoloin, in Côtes de Nuits, this Pinot Noir spent one year in wood prior to bottling. Showing a delicious amount of age, with forest floor, wild mushrooms pushing up through the dusky cherry, raspberry fruit on the mid-palate. Tannins are now worn soft and moderately sticky, guiding this to a bergamot / black tea / mineral licked finish. A lovely example of Côte de Nuits Village with some age, this is drinking very well now and with time still ahead.Tasted: 10 August 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $54.95 | 750ml | consignment |
