"The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Charbonnières Vieilles Vignes has a tightly wound nose that opens to reveals red currant and cranberry commingling with orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, good intensity and a little more chutzpah than the Aux Boudots on the finish. This should age well for a decade or so."  

Winemaker Notes: 

"With the 2011 vintage (and with our encouragement), Jérôme began separating out his oldest villages-level parcel. Boasting true old-vines power, this is always more thickly fruited and more exuberantly spicy than its muli-parcel village counterpart, with greater generosity and length. Its lusciousness, however, does nothing to mask the underlying complexity that sets this cuvée apart." 

Alcohol: 13.5%
