Domaine Hoffmann-Jayer, Cote de Nuits-Villages Rouge 2019 (1x75cl)

Average age of vines 50 years. Grapes for the Côte de Nuits Villages are grown in the commune of Corgoloin on three different plots: "En Fontenelle", "Le Clos de Magny", and "La Montagne". Discreet wood frames earthier and more sauvage-inflected aromas of spiced plum and dark currant. There is both fine volume and concentration to the medium-bodied flavors that exhibit surprisingly good power on the serious, rustic and youthfully austere finale. This isn’t a refined effort, but it offers very good quality for its level.
