2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot

Yves Confuron has been running his family domaine for almost 20 years now. The domaine is blessed with some great plots and lots of old vines. Yves is generally one of the later vignerons to begin picking as he is keen for his bunches to reach maximum phenolic ripeness. One reason for this is that he doesn’t destem. The wines don’t see much new oak but do spend around 18 months in barrel before being assembled and bottled about three months later. From 80 year old vines in Bas de Combes with the remainder in Aux Lavières, this Nuits-St-Georges is powerful, structured, with notes of cassis, kirsch and a bright acidity.
