Domaine Jean Tardy Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru "Aux Argillas" 2017, 750ml

This 0.39-hectare vineyard, planted with Pinot Noir in 1969 and 1973, features a north-south orientation with clay-limestone soil. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand, yielding approximately 34 hL per hectare. 
During vinification, the grapes are 100% de-stemmed, with 65% remaining as whole berries, and undergo minimal punch-downs. The wine is aged for 18 months in barrels (50% one-year-old, 50% new) and racked once before bottling.

Tasting Note:

Clear purple. There is very significant weight on the palate, more black fruit than red, some blackberries, but not too lush with a thread of clean acidity bringing up the finish.
