FEATURES
The 2022 vintage in Burgundy saw plenty of rain early on, providing sufficient water reserves, leading to a balanced year with good volume and superb maturity, without excessively high sugars. The Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Au Bas de Combe' 2022 is described as a precise and refined expression from the northern sector of Nuits-Saint-Georges, known for combining the depth of Nuits with the silkier touch of its prestigious neighbor, Vosne-Romanée. This red Burgundy, made from 100% Pinot Noir, offers an elegant profile with pure fruit, refined tannins, and luminous freshness. The bouquet reveals notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, and morello cherry, followed by hints of violet and rose petal. With aeration, subtle touches of sweet spices, fine oak, a whisper of undergrowth, and graphite emerge, adding depth and complexity. On the palate, it is supple and precise, with a fresh, linear acidity and a finely chiseled mid-palate, showcasing silky yet present tannins and a juicy red-fruit core. Mineral undertones and delicate spice extend into a long, graceful finish. 【Combines Nuits depth with Vosne-Romanée elegance】.
Food pairing suggestions include roast poultry or guinea fowl with herbs, veal or pork tenderloin with light jus, delicate game birds like partridge, mushroom-based dishes, refined vegetable tarts, and soft to semi-hard cheeses such as Reblochon, Brillat-Savarin, or Cantal entre-deux.
This wine is ideal for intimate dinners, refined Burgundy-themed meals, or tastings among enthusiasts where its subtlety and terroir expression can be fully appreciated.
