Domaine de la Commaraine Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Roncière' 2022
Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru AOC – Burgundy, France

Description
Tasting a Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru of this depth is always a special moment. From our very first visit to Domaine de la Commaraine, it was clear: precision, attention to detail and deep connection to the land are at the heart of this new Burgundy renaissance.

The 'Roncière' 2022 shows a noble restraint and remarkable precision — the kind of Pinot Noir that seduces not with volume, but with elegant firmness and pure minerality.

Ideally located mid-slope with southeast exposure, this parcel is planted on poor, stony clay-limestone soils rich in iron oxide. The result: firm tannic structure, restrained power and an aromatic subtlety that mark it as a true classic of the region.

This balance between mineral austerity and aromatic nuance makes 'Roncière' a wine of great character, capable of ageing with grace and unfolding in complex layers over time.

Elegant and restrained nose of red berries, violet and spice. On the palate: structured, mineral, with firm yet fine tannins. The finish is long, layered and precise — a wine of contemplation and great ageing potential.
