Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils
Cuvée Maëlie Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir
Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
After decanting not giving much. Nose of red cherries and red florals - light and sappy. In hindsight no need to decant - no sediment - pop and pour would’ve done. I expected more from the 2015 vintage. No complexity. Essentially a simple wine and not worth $69AUD. There are many Australian Pinots better than this with better QPR. In a word, disappointing.

Dec 12th, 2021Pale Crimson. Red berry fruits on nose of raspberry and strawberry. Enjoying these Bourgognes from the 2015 vintage. Light and refreshing with a touch of sap. M- Intensity with light tannins. Cellar short term.

Sigh. Just no "there" there. Like the engine doesn't turn over. Missing either fire, water, or fuel. (Haha, my dad the car guy would appreciate that).

I feel embarrassed by this wine. Having tasted a number of these in the last 18 months, I'm simply astonished by how beautifully it has fined down and turned out into a delicious example of its appellation, far better than I thought it could be. Delightful light to med red w a slight bright pinkish tinge; lively quite spicy red fruit nose, fresh; palate has xlnt attack, lovely piquant small red berry flavours w background notes of earth and brambleberry. Lovely clean fine tannins to close. Delicious.

Oct 7th, 2015I was thinking it was a crime to cook Julia Child's coq au vin with this, but once I sipped some I thought, nah. It's cooking wine. Not much there.

Does not lack acidity. Ripe fruit almost going too far but still enjoyable.

Aug 31st, 2024Transparent ruby red. Rose and spices. Initially raspberry and cranberry, charming. but 2 hours later, different face showed up. Juicy, earthy and chalk. Domaine jean tardy & fils Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Cuvée Maelie 18 @1400, Fred - Royal, 240724
2nd time, 1.5 hours decanting make it better to enjoy real taste. 19 vintage is much concentrated. It is changing into aged. Spices and concentration. 18 @1400, Fred - TSWTin, 241005
