Nuits-Saint-Georges, Au Bas de Combe Domaine Jean Tardy 2020

Description

Located in Vosne-Romanee and in the highly capable hands of Guillaume Tardy, Domaine Jean Tardy is now recognised as one of the leading producers in the Côte d'Or. Originally the vineyards were entirely leased from Domaine Méo-Camuzet, and, 30 years later, these still make up the majority of Guillaume’s holdings. The family have over the years added to these and the domaine now has 5 hectares of vineyards in Nuits-St-Georges, Vosne Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny.

The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Au Bas de Combe Vieilles Vignes has a clean and precise bouquet with black cherries, crushed violet and boysenberry fruit. It takes time to unfurl in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannns, fine acidity, quite structured with a fresh, sappy finish. This should age nicely in bottle. Neal Martin, Vinous.
