2022 Aurelien Verdet Cote de Nuits Villages La Pretiere

88 points, Neal Martin, vinous.com
The 2022 Bourgogne Routes Cotes de Nuits  'La Prétière' has an attractive nose of macerated red cherries, crushed strawberry and light sous-bois scents. It just requires a little more intensity. The palate is a step-up: fine tannins, crisp red fruit, solid focus and a delicate but quite persistent finish. This is well-worth seeking out. Tasted at merchants’ 2022 Burgundy tastings in London.
