Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vignes Rondes, 2015

We present Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vignes Rondes 2015, a refined Pinot Noir from a 0.75-hectare parcel of century-old vines planted in 1923 on the domaine’s organically farmed holdings. True to its name (“round vines”), this climat delivers an unusually elegant Nuits profile, enhanced by the estate’s whole-cluster technique and 18-24 months in neutral oak.

Tasting Notes: On the nose, Les Vignes Rondes 2015 reveals a delicate bouquet of tartufo, clove, blackberry, plum and sour red fruits, with spicy and floral accents emerging gracefully. The aromas blend richness and finesse, reflecting the site’s ability to temper Nuits power with sophistication.

On the palate, the wine is rich yet refined, with supple tannins, sappy whole-bunch spice and well-integrated oak supporting vibrant fruit and excellent persistence. Freshness and ripeness harmonize in a dynamic, elegant structure, culminating in a long, well-constructed finish that will reward patient cellaring.
