2019 Côte de Nuits-Villages 'La Pretiere', Domaine Aurélien Verdet
From vines found in Comblachien, very close to Nuits-St-Georges, there is an unmistakable quality here. Reflecting brilliantly why Aurélien Verdet is so highly regarded in the region, his Côte de Nuits Village La Prêtière offers supreme drinking pleasure with a deep and bright aromatic intensity allied to bold and expansive, pure black berry flavours. Like a concentrate of pinot noir, this cuvée is completed with lively freshness, structure and elegantly pure tannins. Drink now to 2026.
