Vivian’s Mixed Case Selections
2016 was an outstanding year in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits producing hauntingly beautiful wines. Though the vintage turned out to be great, the result of warm, dry
weather from the end of June through September, frost and mildew in the early stage of the growth cycle led to a small crop. In spite of low yields, what remained
on the vine proved to be outstanding. Overall, the wines are precise, perfumed and show firm tannins. There is lovely brightness and transparency in the fruit profiles.
I have selected two popular villages in the Côte de Nuits, Gevrey Chambertin and Vosnee Romanée, both of which are known for their structure and aging potential, to illustrate the qualities of this vintage. I suggest using this case to explore the stylistic differences between producers, such as the more established Jean Grivot and Hudelot-Noellat, to the rising stars Berthaut-Gerbet and Coquard Loison Fleurot.
This comparative set is for those who love an educational tasting experience and also for anyone seeking good value in Burgundy. We only have six cases of this 6-bottle set available, so order now and enjoy free delivery!
