Pierre Meurgey Cotes de Nuits-Village "Aux Montagnes", 2021, 750ml
$56
Description
This wine comes from vineyards with an average vine age of 41 years old with eastern exposure on clay and limestone soils. The grapes were entirely destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats before being transferred to oak barrels to age for 18 months prior to bottling.
Meurgey decided against any stems this year. A good move, as it could easily have become too rustic. The result is robust and bold, with plentiful fruit and chunky tannins.
