Méo-Camuzet Frères & Soeurs - Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru - Les Perrières - Rouge - 2017

Wine:

From a climate in the south of the appellation, the 2017 red Méo-Camuzet Frères & Soeurs Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru Les Perrières offers suppleness and a lovely palate. Intensity and mellowness come together in a rather flattering wine, whose initially slightly exotic woodiness has now integrated well to give way to fruit.

Vinification:

Hand harvested and vinified by the estate's own teams. Low intervention vinification. 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 2032, and even longer for enthusiasts.
