Nuits-St-Georges Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot 2021

For an exquisite and refined Nuits-St-Georges at an affordable price, explore the offerings from this modest Domaine. The Confuron family, tending to their 11 hectares of tiny vineyards for six generations, presents a wine that reflects the proximity to Vosne-Romanée, situated right on the border. This proximity imparts a suppleness and controlled power reminiscent of its esteemed neighbour.

Sourced from four vineyards totalling a mere 1.34 hectares, some of which boast up to 80-year-old vines, the fruit's impressive quality is evident. Patience is key with this wine as it requires time to unfurl its full potential. In this Domaine, vines and terroir reign supreme, and François Confuron's dedication in the vineyard allows him to gently guide the wine in his small cellar. The wine undergoes an 18-month maturation in small oak barrels, some of which are new, contributing to its polished, rich red character.

Derived from older vines on the Vosne-side of the appellation, this wine boasts an intense profile with a deep purple-black colour and a solid rim. Its sumptuous cherry and dark fruit flavours are accompanied by a substantial weight of fruit, nuanced with leafy, smoky oak notes. The wine's well-balanced acidity, mineral undertones, and firm yet refined tannins contribute to its overall allure.
