Domaine Gaston & Pierre Ravaut Cote de Nuits-Villages, Burgundy, France 2009

Description

This 2009 Côte de Nuits-Villages is a mature, expressive Burgundy shaped by a warm, generous vintage. The nose shows ripe red cherry and raspberry that have softened into dried fruit, rose petal, and subtle forest floor, with a gentle spice note emerging with air. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and supple, with resolved tannins and a rounded texture that reflects the ripeness of the year. Acidity is moderate but sufficient to keep the wine balanced, allowing savory, earthy notes to frame the lingering red-fruit core.
