Domaine Jérôme Galeyrand, Côte de Nuits Village, Les Retraits, Vieilles Vignes
From vines planted in 1925 in Comblanchien bordering Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Marechale. 25-30% whole bunch and aged in oak barrels of which no more than 20% are new. A spicy, serious and structured wine, showing its close proximity to Nuits Saints Georges.
