Domaine David Duband - Nuits-Saint-Georges - Rouge - 2017

Wine:

The 2017 red Nuits-Saint-Georges offers great freshness, with floral notes, raspberry, and blackcurrant. It unfolds a delicate structure, although the tannin is prominent, adding depth. Flexible and approachable, this Nuits does not sacrifice intensity or character. It's a joy to experience! Perfectly balanced, it pairs wonderfully with lamb chops or beef bourguignon.
