Product Notes

Domaine Alain Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru La Richemone is a prestigious French wine originating from the famed Nuits-Saint-Georges area in Burgundy. This exquisite vino boasts a sophisticated blend of full-bodied, rich red fruits paired with a striking minerality, complemented by subtle undertones of oak and spice. It exudes an intricate flavour profile, with well-rounded tannins that celebrate the soil's richness. The elegance and depth of this hand-picked Pinot Noir wine makes it an absolute gem among Burgundy wines. It's best enjoyed after careful decanting, perfectly paired with roasted meats and gourmet cheeseboards.

Tasting Notes

Now moving towards graceful maturity, the aroma of this wine offers enticing notes of leather and truffle alongside the floral blackberry fruit it has always shown. The palate still has a good deal of power and structure – this is Nuits-Saint-Georges through-and-through – but the poise remains effortless.
