"A treasure trove of red fruit to be cellared!
"Slightly crimson color. A bouquet of tangy dark red fruits and a lovely salty note reminiscent of Nuits pepper. Firm and pure, the tannins are so fine you hardly notice them as they shape the fruit. Dry, greedy and perfectly balanced". (Jancis Robinson 2023).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2021) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
Run by the Devillard family, who also own Château de Chamirey in Mercurey, the vineyard is located on remarkable terroirs in the south of the Côte de Nuits, and its production is vinified in the spirit of modern wines, seeking high grape maturity and deep, voluptuous textures. The results have been convincing in recent years, starting with the communal appellations, with very fine juices when we knew them to be rather solid. All the possible fullness of 2018 has been captured here, and these will be wines for laying down, or even very long laying down for the nuits and the échezeaux. Also a lovely red Burgundy.

About the wine:
This wine has a charming finesse, a lively elegance that is lifted from the first attack. There's a little reduction (which should disappear on racking) and aromas of pomegranate, raspberry and mint. The texture is silky and fine, the tannins very well controlled. [...]

About the wine:
Slightly crimson color. A bouquet of tangy dark red fruits and a lovely salty note reminiscent of Nuits pepper. Firm and pure, the tannins are so fine they're barely noticeable as they shape the fruit. Dry, delicious and perfectly balanced.
