Description
A communal appellation in the heart of the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, halfway between Dijon and Beaune, harvested on the demarcated parts of the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges. It covers 304 hectares (143 of which are classified as 1er cru) and produces mainly red wines.
The diversity of the terroirs is due to variations in soil, orientation and location. The vineyard is divided by a valley, a river and the village. To the north, the soils are composed of stony silts from the Côte and alluvial deposits from the Meuzin valley. To the south, the deep silt and marl-limestone of the Combe des Vallerots dominate the lower slopes, while at the top of the hillside, the soil becomes rocky. Exposure east/south-east.
LABOURE-ROI
The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.
The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.
The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.
In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
