Domaine de Bellene Vieilles Vignes Nuits-Saint-Georges 2023

Old vineyards from Nuits-Saint-Georges takes the Côte de Nuits ideal to a positive, furthered and more substantial place with a pulpy, fleshy and next agglomerated tier of fruit. Not all old vines are created equal and so imagine those from NSG to hold more wisdom but also more agility without any creak or crick to their bones. That’s what you notice and feel from this 2023 expression, a fullness but also a pliability that shows greater layering and integration between the fruit and structure. The elasticity of movement means more malleability, food pairing ability and longevity. Great showing for this cuvée. Drink 2026-2033. Tasted March 2025. Score – 94. (Michael Godel, winealign.com)
