Charles van Canneyt, Nuits Saint Georges Richemone

Charles van Canneyt, Nuits Saint Georges RichemoneNA

A beautifully broad-ranging nose reflects notes of cherry

a wine that ultimately is produced only about once every four years or so

with a base of granular tannins buoying the cherry

This is more substantial and even richer as well as more energetic than the A

My last bottle from the case

finishing on a peppery note

Here the wood treatment is less subtle though it does not overshadow the more elegant and slightly cooler nose of spice

From a site made famous by Helen Turley when she was buying its fruit

with a touch of extra fruitiness and spiciness

3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc

powerful and markedly rich big-bodied flavors that are supported by a firm acid spine on the clean

(15% alcohol)
