Tasting notes
Correct ripe red fruit but it seems a tad dull immediately after the Faiveley Les Cazetiers. Seems pretty pricey to me! (JR)

(70% vendange entier ; 20% new oak): Alluring aromas of red cherry, redcurrant, rose petal and spices. Sweet but firm wine with lovely inner-mouth energy and a touch of minerality giving precision to its flavors of red fruits and flowers. Finishes dry and classic, with a solid tannic spine and excellent length.
(from 50+ year old vines). This too is notably restrained and it takes plenty of swirling to coax the aromas of more deeply pitched red and dark currant, earth, game and soft floral scents from the glass. There is both fine volume and richness to the tautly muscular and powerful flavors that culminate in a mildly rustic and markedly firm finale. This is a classic Nuits that will require extended cellaring to resolve the firm structure. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
