Julien Cruchandeau Hautes Cotes de Nuits 'Les Cabottes' 2019

Ooo, this is delicious! What a lovely red wine.

The vineyard is described as 'in transition' - "half of it is 60 years old; the other half a new plantation 6 years old. The two parts are fermented separately then assembled in to one cuvee. 2018 gave him lovely phenolic maturity, so he did a slow cold maceration. The result is enormous fruit and a wine accessible now. Beautiful Pinot Noir!"
