Domaine Nico Grand Mère 2021
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Central Region, Mendoza, ArgentinaGrand Mère pinot was first planted back in 2013. The 2-hectare mix of 667 and 115 clones is fermented with 20 percent whole cluster bunches before ageing 14 months in 15 percent new French oak, plus a combination of second and third use barrels. The style is subtle and very Burgundian despite sitting 1100 metres above sea level. Red fruits, cranberries, cherries, and floral notes dominate the nose. The palate is similar, with more brown spice, black pepper, and a dusting of wet stones. Fresh with perfectly managed tannin, it is another drink-or-hold situation, but this will easily live through 2028. A serious wine ready to take on some duck confit.Tasted: 18 September 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $56.99 | 750ml | select private wine shops; speculative listing - Trialto Wine |
