Nuits Saint Georges Clos des Corvees, Prieure Roch 2016 (OCC 6)

Description

From the Domaine

Vine age: undefined, harvests are exculsively ‘millerandés’ (fully ripe but undersize berries giving very concentrated juice and flavour ) since 2002 Production: variable according to the quantity of ‘millerandés’ grapes picked each vintage. An exceptional wine, made from ‘millerandés’. Powerful and full bodied, dense and structured, long finish, the nobility of Nuits-Saint-Georges… At the gateway to Prémeaux, the western boundary of Le Clos de Corvées follows the line of a flat stone paved track, quite unique here on the Côte. This track would have been used by the monks of Saint-Vivant-Sous-Vergy around the 10th century, and was originally a roman road. The re-establishment of Clos de Corvées, partitioned in the middle ages, is thanks to the shared passion of two men: the founder of the renowned wine merchants Geisweiler, in the late 19th century, and the French General Denis Joseph Gouachon, at the turn of the 20th century. This ‘climat’ (plot) covers 5.2 hectares and is one of the Côtes’ largest vinyards under single tenancy.
