Nuits St Georges, La Richemone, 1er Cru, Cuvée Ultra, 2014

One of Perrot-Minot's most brooding, complex and backward premiers crus. Multi-layered, muscled but toned, powerful dark berry fruits with a strong mineral kick. Earthy, characterful notes of undergrowth and spice, highly sophisticated. From a fine parcel bordering Vosne that was planted in 1902, only a small quantity is bottled up as the Cuvee Ultra, the vast majority is blended into the Nuits Villages Cuvee.
