Domaine Jean Tardy Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes ‘Bas De Combe’ 2021 Size::1 Bottle and still beautifully livelyLocated on the Vosne Romane 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 Romane parcels like les Chaumes in the north and by Les Ras in the east, these vines give more of a Vosne Romane character to this Pinot Noir. This gives the Tardys the kind of silky finesse and elegance that they look for in their Nuits
