2022 Marchand & Burch Côte de Nuits – Villages
$113.00
Villages appellation provides some of the best value Pinot Noirs currently available in Bourgogne. Grapes for these wines can come from a group of villages clustered in the northern and southern end of the Côte de Nuits. Pascal focuses on the villages of Comblanchien and Corgoloin which are just to the south of his home base of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Here the soils move from Limestone into a deeper clay profile and this gives the resulting wines a highly appealing fruit richness with approachable soft edges. It’s great for drinking in it’s youth and reveals typical Bourgogne savoury complexity with some medium term bottle age.

TASTING NOTE
Vintage
Hailing from Corgoloin and Comblanchien in the southernmost reaches of the Côte de Nuits, the 2022 Côte de Nuits - Villages wine strikes a refined balance between intensity and elegance. The aromatic profile is rich with dark red fruits, nuanced floral tones, and exotic spice, underpinned by an alluring smokiness. On the palate, layers of redcurrant and wild berry are interwoven with earthy undertones, all supported by bright, well-judged acidity and finely grained tannins. Vibrant and enduring, it offers immediate appeal while holding great promise for graceful ageing. The depth and persistence in this wine indicate an appellation that is on the rise as new viticultural practice unlocks the potential of the richer soil of these vineyards.
