Gros Hautes-Côtes de Nuits 2019

Michel’s wines from the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits have fared beautifully in recent hot vintages – they’re terrific values from true Burgundian terroir that until recently was often on the margins of ripeness. The Hautes-Côtes de Nuits from 2019 is lovely, dense wine with dark red fruits and a nice mineral line. There’s lots of stuffing here, so no rush at all to drink this wine. Burghound found it “outstanding” finding “refined texture” with “solid depth” and “pure, racy, lightly stony flavors.” Entry level red Burgundy is seldom better than this.
