Product Notes

Domaine Alain Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru La Richemone wine presents an alluring blend of depth and elegance. Aged in French oak barrels, it features robust flavours of ripe blackberries, cherries, and a hint of spices, accompanied by a touch of earthy minerality. The wine possesses rich tannins that provide robust structure, while the finish is long and smooth, leaving a delightful lingering taste. Reflecting the exceptional terroir of Burgundy’s Nuits-Saint-Georges region, this Premier Cru demonstrates sublime maturity and complexity, making it an ideal match for gamier meats and mature cheeses.

Tasting Notes

Now moving towards graceful maturity, the aroma of this wine offers enticing notes of leather and truffle alongside the floral blackberry fruit it has always shown. The palate still has a good deal of power and structure – this is Nuits-Saint-Georges through-and-through – but the poise remains effortless.
