Côte de Nuits-Villages 2022
« Les Retraits »
Tasting notes
This wine offers clear and powerful aromatic expression through its fresh berries and mineral crisp, as well as a fiery and ferruginous aspect due to the nature of its soil. On the palate, its firm tannic structure, characterized by its tight grain, requires time to fully express its complexity.
The Vineyard
The Les Retraits Climat is located in the North of the town of Comblanchien, just south of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. On the hillside’s lower section, the slope is gentle and faces east. The ground is composed of a very thin layer of ferruginous clay above limestone rich subsoil, which dips here in the Côte de Nuits to re-emerge in places, in the lower part of the Côte de Beaune.
The Vintage
2022 is synonymous with a vintage of great quality and the return of satisfying volumes. After a mild and dry winter, the growing season arrived early. Spared by the April frost, the warm spring accelerated plant growth, favoring early flowering and optimal fruit set. After particularly dry spells during winter and spring, late June rains were timely. A hot, dry and at times scorching summer allowed for a good ripening, although in places the vines did react to hydric stress. Mid-August rainfall will be decisive by constant sunshine until the harvests, which started on 25th August in the Côte de Beaune and 2nd September in the Côte de Nuits.
