Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er La Richemone Ultra

Vieilles Vignes, this term takes on a whole new dimension here at Christophe's La Richemone Ultra, as the vines for this indescribable wine were planted in 1902! Of course, there is far too little of this divine wine, as Christophe's plot is only 1200 square meters in size. But as they say in such situations? Better little than nothing! The soil conditions here are also exceptional: gravel allows excess water to run off immediately and clay-limestone retains enough moisture on hot, dry days to keep photosynthesis going. The perfect terroir! Your conclusion is correct: the perfect wine. La Richemone Ultra smells gigantically of dark cherries, skillfully weaves in fine black pepper notes and envelops everything with a hint of tobacco. Initially enormously concentrated, the wine shows concentrated power and builds up fabulous pressure, finishing with incomparable finesse. Magical!
