Méo-Camuzet Frères & Soeurs - Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru - Les Perrières - Rouge - 2016

Wine:

Managed by the estate since 2003, the 2016 red Méo-Camuzet Frères & Soeurs Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Perrières comes from a plot farmed and vinified by the House teams. Fresh and elegant, this frost-affected vintage already offers fine definition of Pinot, in a supple, infused profile of great finesse. It can already be enjoyed with poultry, for example, or cellared.

Vinification:

Hand harvested. Plot managed and vinified by the estate's own teams. Low intervention winemaking. Aged in Tronçais wood barrels, most of which are new.

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C in a large glass.

Food and wine pairing:

Veal quasi en cocotte, roast Landes chicken, pan-fried veal sweetbreads, matured farmhouse Saint Nectaire cheese.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2031, and even longer for enthusiasts.
