Nuits Saint George 1er Cru Les Didiers Cuvee Cabet 2015 3000mlThe 53rd Auction of the Hospices de Nuits Following the character of previous vintages, this 2015 is very attractive even now offering relative openness and drinkability. A background note of suave oak spice underpins a gusty but elegant Nuits soil imprint. The fruit is fill and sumptuous, and the tannins are present but very fine grained.

very finely grained tannins and an epically long

weight and power to the large-scaled but well-detailed flavors that display an interesting saline component on the refreshing and finish that delivers very fine length

This is an excellent

violets and garrigue with wafts of black truffles

concentrated and mouth coating finish that manages to remain impeccably well-balanced

This champagne is perfect for an aperitif and also delicious when served with a seafood platter
