🏰The 2009 Patrice Rion Nuits Saint Georges Premier Cru Clos Saint Marc hails from a premier cru vineyard, the Clos Saint Marc (also known as Aux Corvées), in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation of the Côtes de Nuits. This is the smallest monopoly appellation in Nuits-Saint-Georges, with vines averaging 60 years old. The wine is hand-harvested and matured in oak barrels, with about 50% new oak, for 18 months. 【This Nuits-Saint-Georges offers powerful and complex aromatics of bacon, strawberry, and redcurrant, evolving into savory notes of sour cherry and cedar, with a dominant wild cherry and typical Nuits warm-earth aroma.】 The palate reveals a dense matter with incomparably silky tannins, providing a rich, meaty texture and a balanced finish supported by minerality and complexity. 🍴 Its noble, strong character makes it an excellent match for juicy, meaty dishes such as roasted lamb, Tournedos Rossini, and duckling. 🥂 A distinguished red 布根地, this wine is perfect for a sophisticated fine dining experience, a dedicated Burgundy tasting, or for further cellaring to allow its complex character to unfold. Serving Suggestion: This wine will benefit from another 3 to 5 years in bottle and can age well for 7-15 years. Serve at around 16-17°C.
