2023 Domaine Evenstad Côte de Nuits-Villages Grandes Vignes

Not Currently Available

In the south of the Côte de Nuits, in the town of Comblanchien, the Climat “Les Grandes Vignes” is located high on the hillside and faces east. Its lean clay soil, resting on Comblanchien limestone, brings freshness and structure to the wine.

The bouquet of our 2023 Domaine Evenstad Côte de Nuits-Villages Grandes Vignes Pinot Noir is complex and elegant, revealing aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry as well as notes of violet, sweet spices, and undergrowth. Its deep and concentrated palate is structured by firm but ripe tannins which blend harmoniously with its fine acidity, giving this wine a refreshing finish.

Winemaker Notes

The winter was mild, but the alternation of warm and cool periods slowed the vines’ growth cycle, thus budbreak was expected for late March - early April. As spring frost spared our vines, flowering began toward the end of May. A first heatwave came in early July, followed by a second one between August 10th and 25th, slightly delaying veraison. At the Château de la Crée, harvest started on September 3rd under summer conditions. 2023 marks the second consecutive vintage delivering both above-average yields and quality. The Chardonnay has reached optimal ripeness while preserving a lovely freshness. The Pinot Noir shows great aromatic structure.
