Roche Bellene, Nuits Saint Georges Vv Vintage:2016 even cool yet ripe nose

even cool yet ripe nose blends notes of purple fruit with those of earth

powdery tannins

spicy characteristics and freshness is already starting to show well

This is aromatically similar to the straight Corton Blanc though with a whiff of the exotic lurking in the background

While the finish does flirt with rusticity

Roche Bellene, Nuits Saint Georges Vv Vintage:2016 even cool yet ripe noseThere is reasonably good freshness to the spicy cassis, earth and softly wooded nose. There is acceptable richness to the lighter weight but vibrant flavors that exhibit acceptable depth on the slightly dry and mildly warm and rustic finish. This is very Nuits in basic character and while the balance isnt perfect, there are aspects to enjoy note that this would best be served with food. 87 2022+
