This well-balanced wine seduces the pallet with its full-bodied, velvety texture and vibrant acidity. Its firm tannins and distinctive minerality linger in a long-lasting finish. Matured meticulously in French oak barrels, this First Growth wine exhibits nuances of spicy oak and vanilla. A top-tier expression of the illustrious Nuits-Saint-Georges region, it is a brilliant companion for game dishes and matured cheeses.
