Magnum Côte De Nuits Villages - 2000
Domaine René Durand



Ref: A724900

There's a vast swathe of Nuits St. Georges that would get nowhere near the vibrant quality of this humble wine. A rich, spicy nose and deep colour lead you in to disconcertingly powerful and outstanding Pinot. A succulent raspberry fruit-laden Burgundy with excellent weight and depth which is drinking superbly now. The 2000s are generous in flavour.

Every region needs its eccentrics and, in René Durand, the Côte de Nuits has got one! For those of our customers who remember André Vignal at Domaine St. Georges, in the Côtes du Rhône, René is a brilliant understudy! He lives in a past era but still manages to make some of the most delectable wines that you can imagine. Making an order chez Durand can be something of a minefield as he's always out in the vineyards, hates technology and would prefer to speak person to person. We live with this as we would really miss not having his wines on our list. The Durand 2005's are extra special, very profound and exceptional value.

René Durand has an infectious sense of humour but is also an immensely talented wine-maker and a visit to his labyrinthine cellars cut into the Comblanchien rock (Comblanchien is renowned for its rose-coloured marble as well as its wines!) is always something we look forward to. This is the heartland of the Côte de Nuits Villages appellation (there are only 30-odd growers in the AOC) and the Durands’ villages wines see 15% new oak and are always of Nuits St. Georges quality, combining an open, flamboyant fruitiness with ripe, integrated tannins.
