Tasting Note
Our Nuits-Saint-Georges 2020 presents a dark and deep garnet colour. The nose is intense and marked by aromas of mocha, cherry and spices. The mouthfeel is ample and characterized by its freshness, combined with aromas of dark cherry, nutmeg and coffee. The finale concentrates these aromas into a nice finish.

Food Pairing
Red meat - roasted leg of mutton - mature cheeses.
