Domaine Jean Tardy Nuits St Georges "Au Bas de Combe" V.V. 2018, 750ml

This 0.45-hectare vineyard, planted with Pinot Noir in 1937, is located on the Vosne-Romanée side near Les Chaumes and Les Réas, featuring clay-limestone soil. 
The grapes here often exhibit millerandage and are harvested entirely by hand, yielding approximately 33 hL/ha. During vinification, the grapes are 100% de-stemmed, with 65% remaining as whole berries, and undergo minimal punch-downs. The wine is aged for 16 months in barrels (60% one-year-old, 40% new) and racked once before bottling.

Tasting Note:

Bouquet of brambly red berry fruit, sous-bois and light floral aromas, pretty rather than complex. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and fine acidity.
