Côte de Nuits 2023

That’s the great thing about this vintage - despite unstable weather conditions over the summer,
the end result is stunning. Pinot Noir proved, once again, that it is king of the grape varieties. After a rigorous sorting process, facilitated by high yields, some very fine juices were extracted, with a great variety of aromas.

The 2023 vintage in Côte de Nuits has yielded some exceptional red wines. In areas where optimal ripeness
was achieved under favorable conditions, these wines showcase expressive profiles. They boast intense fruit notes, particularly berries and black fruits, complemented by delicate hints of peony and subtle spices. On the palate, they present a rounded character, occasionally with a slight tartness. Their well-defined tannic structure and notable body contribute to a pleasing finish with impressive length. These fine-quality wines will undoubtedly reveal their full potential after a few years of aging, typically around 4 to 5 years.
