Haute Côtes de Nuits 'Les Trois Terroirs' 2014
(from limestone and white marl soil on a very steep, south-facing slope; the wines are 20 to 30 years of age and were harvested fully ten days earlier than the Corvée de Villy; 100% destemmed): Bright medium red. Smoky red fruits and stone on the nose. Distinctly sweeter than the Corvée de Villy, offering lovely inner-mouth high-toned energy. A rounder, riper style with good red fruit intensity. Finishes with dusty, serious tannins and nice length.
