EXPERTS:
“Light in color, this wine from the cooperative of the Hautes Côtes comes from vineyards in the hills to the west of Nuits-St.-Georges. It’s an attractive, smoky wine with enough tannins and acidity to age for a while longer. Red berry and cherry flavors are cut with a crisp texture and firmness. Drink from 2019.”
