Nuits-Saint-Georges AOC Les Terrasses des Vallerots 2018, Domaine Machard de Gramont
Axelle Machard de Gramont brings her own delicate style to this established domaine which operates under fully certified organic and biodynamic principles. The 2018 vintage has all of her trademark elegance with plenty of youthful freshness alongside pleasing complexity of fruit and earthier undertones.
In the glass
Crimson red colour with aromas of rose on the nose, alongside cherry and strawberry fruit and hints of liquorice. Elegant and lively on the palate with more fresh red berry fruits and hints of leather. Harmonious, well-balanced with fine tannins.
Axelle Machard de Gramont is a 5th generation wine grower and rising star. All wines on allocation only. The work on the vines is carried out by hand and grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness. Tiny parcels (plots) of very old vines, producing low yields, are used to make the wine with minimal human intervention other than leaf stripping and green harvest. Further selection and destalking of grapes on sorting tables so that only the best go on to vinification. Fermentation in conical oak vats, with cold pre-fermentation. Long, natural settling and aged in 2nd and 3rd year oak barrels. Natural clarification by gravity.
