WINE DESCRIPTION
Gille Côte de Nuits-Villages, crafted in the prestigious Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy, France, exemplifies the region’s exceptional vineyard characteristics. Produced from vines over 60 years old in the southern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges and the surrounding hills, this wine benefits from traditional winemaking methods and the region’s limestone-rich soils and cool climate. The winemaking process begins with hand-harvested grapes undergoing a cold maceration, followed by fermentation with natural yeasts. The wine is then aged for a minimum of 18 months in medium-toasted oak barrels, with one-third of the barrels being new each year. The result is a wine with a complex nose of blackcurrant and dark berries, accented by a hint of spice. On the palate, it offers a powerful structure with rich, spicy flavors and a long, nuanced finish. Gille Côte de Nuits-Villages is celebrated for its elegant, expressive style, making it a standout choice for those seeking a classic and sophisticated Burgundian wine.
