Domaine de Bellene Les Monts de Boncourt Côte de Nuits-Villages 2020

Planted in 1999, this lieu-dit specific Côte de Nuits Villages delivers a marvelously stony and floral-fragrant expression, light-mid-weight at 12.5% alcohol declared, and an overall firm and mineral profile – a wine lovers wine. I love the succulence and the vibrancy, even if length and depth are merely good to very good. More for sipping and enjoying rather than deep contemplation, but plenty of enjoyment there is. Tasted May 2022. Score – 91. (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com)
