Haute Côtes de Nuits 'Clos du Prieuré'
2015
La viticulture et le commerce du vin font partie intégrante des activités familiales depuis le début du 18e siècle. Les établissements vinicoles C.Marey et Comte Liger-Belair, qui ont été fondés en 1720 à Nuits-Saint-Georges et dont les actions ont été introduites à la Bourse de Lyon en 1923, figuraient parmi les maisons de négoce les plus importantes de la Bourgogne.

This has plenty of red and black fruit characters, with an intriguing salty, savoury edge and plenty of freshness on the palate. Produced from a 0.7ha parcel in the hills above Nuits-St-George, in the village of Chaux, on thin, iron-rich soils over the limestone. The fruit is destemmed and fermented on native yeasts, before ageing two winters in cask (30% new).

The middle weight flavors are rounder and a little soft while also possessing good volume and mouth coating sap and I particularly like the palate feel of the complex,
balanced and lingering finish. This too is worth a look and would make a quality choice for a house red.
(from white marl soil on a very steep slope; 100% destemmed): Ripe aromas of black cherry, raspberry and smoke, plus a whiff of meat. Creamier and larger-scaled in the mouth than the Corvée de Villy but with good juicy stony lift giving detail to the middle palate. Finishes with substantial broad, dusty tannins that current cut off the fruit. In a distinctly sunny style, but the Corvée de Villy may be longer.
