Nuits Saint Georges Vielles Vignes Bas de Combe Domaine Jean Tardy

Located on the Vosne-Romanée side, this 66-year-old vineyard experiences widespread millerandage, with the small berries leading to greater concentration of flavours, sugars, pigments and tannins. Surrounded by Vosne-Romanée parcels like ‘les Chaumes’ in the north and by ‘Les Réas’ in the east, these vines give more of a Vosne-Romanée character to this Pinot Noir. This gives the Tardys the kind of silky finesse and elegance that they look for in their Nuits-St-Georges, as opposed to the more rustic rendering you often see.
