2020 Aurelien Verdet, Bourgogne, Hautes Cotes de Nuits Le Prieure Rouge

Le Prieure Rouge is sourced from the estate vineyard near the heart of the Hautes Cotes; Pinot Noir from this area takes on an ethereal, high-pitched aromatic tone, a welcome departure from the sometimes brooding power of wines from lower parts of the Burgundian slopes. The texture is soft and full of bright red fruits, floral and delicate earthy hints.
