2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges | Aurelien Verdet

92 points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
With its abundant black plum fruit aromas touched with earth, smoke and leather, this draws attention from the start. There is full body, firm, slightly grippy tannins and impressive length. It is blended from several parcels of organically certified vines at the base of the slope. Verdet is based in Arcenant in the Hautes-Côtes and this shows what he can do with top-quality fruit from further down the slope.
