Domaine Alain MichelotNuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles 2013

About this wine

This Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru from Domaine Alain Michelot is a serious wine, built for patience. Les Cailles is one of the finest climats in the appellation, and this 2013 shows exactly why collectors seek it out.

The nose reveals dark cherry, blackcurrant and subtle earthy notes typical of great Burgundy. On the palate, you'll find a powerful structure with silky tannins and remarkable depth. The finish is long and complex, with layers of fruit and spice that keep evolving in the glass.

This wine deserves at least an hour in a decanter before serving at 16-18°C. Pair it with roasted duck breast, beef bourguignon or aged Comté cheese. It's the kind of bottle that turns a simple dinner into a memorable evening.
