Domaine de la commaraine nuits-saint-georges 1er cru "roncière" 2022

The certainty that incredible wines would come was absolute. After all, our friend Paul Krug always had this vocation running through his blood, but not even in our wildest dreams could we have foreseen what was about to happen... from the first wine we tasted, our emotion was clear, uncontrollable, and exploded with every sip in that spectacular 12th century cellar in Pommard. Paul's detailed work on the terroir, the biodynamics followed to the letter, and the tireless work in the vineyards are enough arguments to justify this being one of the most spectacular domaines in France.

Tasting a Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru with this depth is a special moment. When we visited the Commaraine Estate, we quickly realize that attention to detail and connection to the soil are the essence of this Burgundian renaissance. And in the climat “Roncière”, this identity takes shape in a structured, vibrant and nuanced wine.

THE “Roncière” 2022 It immediately shows admirable precision and restrained nobility — the type of Pinot Noir that wins us over not with its volume, but with its elegant firmness and pure minerality.

Ideally situated halfway up the slope with a southeast orientation, this plot is based on poor, stony clay-limestone soil, with iron oxides that give the wine a beautiful tannic structure, a contained power and a delicacy that make it a classic among the region's great wines.

This balance between mineral austerity and aromatic subtlety is what makes Roncière wines with great character, with the ability to age with dignity and reveal themselves in layers over the years.

With 90–93 points Jasper Morris MW, is an ideal wine for storage and for those who appreciate Burgundies with character and evolution.
