Cote de Nuits Villages VI 2019, Xavier Durand

This special cuvee takes its name from the time when Xavier played rugby for Nuits St. Georges - the No. 6 position is the left flanker. The wine comes from an exceptional parcel of sixty year-old vines which are only 100 meters from the famed Nuits St. Georges vineyard Clos de Marechale. This is a young Burgundy that is full of fruit and a dash of earthiness - it can be drunk straight away, after a 10-15 minute aeration. It is full of incredible and dense fruit, (very pure and ripe) bordering on the darker cherry side, which is framed by Xavier's meticulous and judicious use of new oak. He is the master of new oak of all our Burgundy producers. (We only get a tiny allocation of 60 bottles.)
