Robert’s two sons, Bertrand and Denis, now look after the winemaking and viticulture respectively. Their vineyards stretch from the far south side of Nuits St-Georges to the very north side next to Vosne-Romanée. All of the wines demonstrate harmony, ripe fruit and structure thanks to both hard work in the vineyard by Denis (who insists on low yields and a strict grape selection) and to a fermentation and barrique elevage carefully controlled by Bertrand. There are no frills or careful secrets here, the crop is destalked, fermented and aged in a maximum of one third new oak for the top crus. These wines are the product of terroir-knowledge and hard, hands-on, work. It is a great compliment to them both that their wines are so balanced yet still maintain the individuality and character that emanates from their terroir.
A heady ripe nose belies a slightly crisper, fresher palate. There is some pulse and energy to the sun-kissed ripe red berry fruit here. Gripping and with a mineral complexity adding dimension, this makes for a successful, well-rounded Nuits villages. From 50 to 60 year old vines, aged in 15% new oak.
