Description: Embrace the depth and elegance of Burgundy with the 2018 Prieuré Roch Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru "Le Cloud." This exceptional red wine, hailing from one of the most esteemed vineyards in the Nuits Saint Georges region, offers a unique expression of Pinot Noir, crafted by the legendary Domaine Prieuré Roch. This limited-release wine, encapsulated in a 750 mL bottle, represents the pinnacle of terroir-driven finesse and winemaking artistry.
Tasting Notes: "Le Cloud" showcases a vivid ruby color with an evolving rim. On the nose, it exudes rich aromas of ripe cherries, blackcurrants, and a hint of forest floor, complemented by subtle spices and floral undertones. The palate is beautifully structured with silky tannins and a complex layering of dark fruit mingled with earthy notes, leading to a long, polished finish that echoes minerality and a touch of oak.
Vinification: Sourced from older vines that thrive in the mineral-rich soils of Nuits Saint Georges, the grapes undergo meticulous sorting and traditional vinification methods to preserve their natural character and complexity. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for a period that enhances its texture and depth without overpowering the delicate Pinot Noir fruit.
