Domaine Machard de Gramont Nuits-St-Georges ‘Les Creux Fraîche-Eau’ 2007
AOC Nuits-St-Georges $43.50 13.5% alcohol
Pale gold, this is an outstanding wine from this family-owned estate. Beguiling aromas of light toast and tropical fruits—honey dew and pineapple—waft from the glass. It’s round and well integrated, with a spine of fresh acidity that carries complex and luscious fruit flavours through the mid palate. The freshness is evident on the lengthy finish, which also exhibits lingering notes of light toast and warm spice. Invite your best friends to share this wine and a platter of artisanal cheeses.
