Domaine Bertrand Machard de Gramont, Nuits-St-Georges Les Terrasses de Vallerots 2015

Next up one of the most exiting wines in the portfolio – the Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Terrasses de Vallerots – located above Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains. It’s a 2 ha parcel planted on terrasses in 2001 – on soil not planted with wines after the phylloxera epidemic. Bertrand Machard de Gramont created this terroir within the village terroir Les Vallerots. The soil is stony with clay and a high percentage of limestone. The soil and the relatively young wines give this wine a forward and lightfooted expression – it’s beautifully balanced and energetic offering a very vibrant fruity expression of Pinot Noir. Love the energy and the immediacy in this wine .. perfect for light food .. hedonistic with no regrets.

strong>Very Good – (87 – 88p) – tasted from CASK on November 7th 2016
