2022 Côte de Nuits-Villages "Aux Fauques" – Domaine Jean-Charles Rion – 750 ml

Description

The Côte de Nuits-Villages "Aux Fauques" 2022 from Domaine Jean-Charles Rion is a wine that perfectly illustrates Burgundian savoir-faire and the expression of Pinot Noir on an exceptional terroir.

Situated on the border of the Côte de Nuits Grands Crus, the "Aux Fauques" climat is distinguished by its deep limestone soils, which give the wine its natural elegance and balanced structure. Thanks to controlled yields and integrated viticulture, the estate is able to extract all the finesse and complexity of the grape variety.

On first contact, the brilliant garnet-red colour announces a beautiful concentration and seductive aromatic depth. On the nose, an explosion of red and black fruit, dominated by Morello cherry, raspberry and blackberry, is accompanied by subtle floral touches of peony and violet. Ageing in oak barrels brings notes of vanilla, toast and sweet spices, enhancing the bouquet.

The attack on the palate is precise and refined, offering fine tension and a discreet minerality that balances the opulence of the fruit. The tannins, still young but well-integrated, provide a fine structure and a velvety sensation on the palate. The flavours evolve towards spicier, slightly toasted notes, giving a lingering, elegant finish.

This wine has excellent ageing potential. After a few years in the cellar, it will gain in depth and develop more complex aromas of undergrowth, leather and liquorice. It goes perfectly with grilled rib of beef, duck with cherries, or a platter of strong cheeses, enhancing its aromatic profile.

The Côte de Nuits-Villages "Aux Fauques" 2022 is a wine that is both rich and structured, offering an intense sensory experience that will appeal to lovers of great Burgundies.
