2018 Hautes Cotes de Nuits Louis Auguste

Named after David's first born son, this is produced from organically farmed vines just above Vosne-Romanée. Some of Burgundy's highest vineyards - an important consideration given the warmth of 2018 - and with an average age of 55 years old, the vines allow for a beautifully concentrated and remarkably fresh wine that's a joy to taste. Drinking wonderfully now, and with the capacity to age for many years in the cellar, it's a great wine to add to the portfolio. Outperforming many a 1er Cru and one of the best priced examples of Pinot Noir anywhere in the world, it's a great choice for both long-term Burgundy connoisseurs as well as those who are looking to try this region for the first time. 55 year old vines. Named for David's son. A hint of reduction quickly dissipates to reveal a wonderfully airy nose of fruits des bois, red and dark berries, a touch of spice. Palate is exceptionally fresh, full of intense wild strawberry and redcurrant flavours - the finish is long, clean and pure. Makes a mockery of most Chambolle Musigny village, as always this offers outstanding value.
