Côtes de Nuits-Villages

Medium deep ruby red colour. Pure and intense aromas of wild berries, chalk, tobacco leaf, and light toast from the oak. The palate is silky and supple yet with good volume and substance, elegant sweet fruit flavours, yet remaining dry with a refined spiciness and long velvety finish.

Clos des Langres, showpiece estate of the Domaine d'Ardhuy, is situated right at the end of the Côte de Nuits, just before it transitions into the Côte de Beaune. This 2003, weighty for a wine from this estate, is still fresh, with crisp acidity topping the attractive, balanced red fruits.
