Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Rouge, Les Dames Huguette, 2023
A more sophisticated fruit nose defines Les Dames Huguettes, briary polished berries with more than a touch of Cathiard seduction. The most precise and silky of all the Hautes Côtes wines. Long and absolutely lovely. A vineyard situated at the top of a slope above Nuits St Geroges; whose rows are planted east to west, neighbouring Chaumes, with an even greater proportion of limestone in the soils.
critic reviews
The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Les Dames Huguette, from a vineyard that touches the Aux Chaumes but has more limestone soils, shows a little more ripeness on the nose: more forward, vivacious red berry fruit mixes with hoisin. The palate is well balanced with dark berry fruit and a touch of cola. This has fine weight and focus, though perhaps it will require a couple of years to fully integrate.
