2015 Côte de Nuits Villages Les Retraits

The 2015 Côte de Nuits-Villages Les Retraits is lovely, wafting from the glass with an alluring bouquet of ripe cherry, plums and dark spice. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and impressively multidimensional for its level, with a good core of ripe fruit, rich velvety tannins, and a framing of saline stem tannin which melts away on the finish.
