Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits '16eme Generation' Rouge, Burgundy, France 2018

Description

This 2018 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge from the "16ème Génération" cuvée is an elegant, classic Pinot Noir from a historic family domaine in Nuits-Saint-Georges, offering great value and typicity.

It opens with fresh, fragrant aromas of red berries like cherry and raspberry, dark red fruits, subtle earth, game, spices, and floral hints, with a touch of cedar and minerality. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with a silky, balanced structure, fine tannins, lively acidity, and flavors of ripe red fruits, herbs, and a savory undercurrent leading to a persistent, refined finish.

By early 2026, it's drinking beautifully approachable with good freshness and depth, while still holding potential for further evolution. A charming, versatile Burgundy red that showcases poised elegance without heaviness. Pairs wonderfully with duck, veal, mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses; enjoy slightly chilled.
