This wine comes from the climat of “Les Corvées Pages” which is a 1er cru vineyard located in the Village of Nuits-Saint-Georges (both of which are named on the label). The 2019 vintage was very warm and dry, which helps explain the 15% ABV level, which is uncharacteristically high.
It is deep ruby in color. The nose offers a medium (+) intensity of developing aromas that include black cherry liqueur, ripe blackberry, blackcurrant, red plum, boysenberry, violet, licorice, star anise, vanilla, burnt caramel, clove, tobacco, forest floor, and mushroom.
On the palate, it’s dry, with medium (+) acidity, medium (+) body, high alcohol, medium tannins that are supple and fine-grained, and concentrated flavors consistent with the nose. The finish is medium (+). This wine is juicy, intense, and delicious.

2024/9/3-4. A refreshingly limpid, cranberry red. Flowers, red berries, evergreen forest and iron - Gevrey with a little lift. Sweet fruit and acid with a mineral spine on the palate, and again, limpid as opposed to opaque. Will today’s wines be like this in 5-10 years? — 2 months ago
Wow was this funky. Left it out overnight. Got better. Some crunchy fun gamay underneath it all, but too much barnyard. — 7 months ago
