Cote de Nuits Wines

It can be easy to describe Burgundy’s soil by just mentioning the trademark limestone, but regions like the Côte de Nuits showcase how varied the terroir can truly be, once you dig deeper and get into detail. Every part of the soil makes its presence known in the flavor of the wine, making it very hard to find two bottles from different producers that feel similar. Côte de Nuits is primarily known for mouth-watering red wine, bottles majestic enough to be featured in every wine geek’s collection. If you ever manage to schedule a trip to this place, something within you will change forever as you become immersed in the culture of these fine people.

Sampling a Côte de Nuits bottle is often like biting into fresh fruit. The crunch is there, as is the raw, vibrant intensity. The elegant and calculated spice within the bottles brings out something primal in the wine, as it swirls in your mouth and glass, drowning you in the earthy flavors of French culture and cuisine. These seductive wines leave anyone shaken, as their entire understanding of what makes a wine good is stirred up, and they rediscover their love of fine wine again, and again.

Naturally, Côte de Nuits wines are a joy to collect. They’re unique, they’re flavorful and bold, and they carry great value for those of you with an entrepreneurial streak. Save them for special situations, moments you want history to remember forever, as these bottles can singlehandedly turn a regular gathering into an event your guests will think back to for years to come.

1990 domaine armand rousseau gevrey chambertin 1er cru clos saint jacques Burgundy Red

The 1990 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.-Jacques 1er Cru is magnificent. It displays stunning definition on the nose; there’s no messing about as it ladles out captivating raspberry, wild strawberry and light oyster shell notes. Though opulent and reflective of the growing season, the bouquet oozes class. The palate has a sorbet-like freshness and so much vitality after 31 years, building toward a perfectly symmetrical finish featuring vivacious morello cherries and raspberry coulis and hints of bay leaf. This is simply Rousseau in full flight. How do you follow that pair?Vinous Media | 97 VMThis was a wine that I was quite curious to try because while I had the good fortune to have enjoyed it several times in the 1990s, it had not come my way since 2001. I’m happy to report that it did not disappoint with its ripe yet airy aromas of sous-bois, spice, earth, game and beautifully well-layered secondary fruit. There is fine richness as well as very good power to the delicious and attractively textured medium-bodied flavors that exhibit equally good layering on the impressively persistent finale. This is not a particularly elegant vintage for the Rousseau CSJ and there remains enough tannin to notice on the slightly warm finish but overall, I found this to have aged out extremely well.Burghound | 93 BHThe outstanding Gevrey-Chambertin-Clos St.-Jacques possesses a saturated deep ruby color, and an explosive nose of black fruits, spicy new oak, flowers, and truffles. In the mouth, the wine is dense, seductive, and ripe, with low acidity, glycerin, and alcohol in the finish, making it a voluptuous, opulent mouthful of chewy Pinot Noir. Drink it over the next decade.Robert Parker | 90 RPA supple 1990, with a firm core of solid tannins and enough fruit to compensate for the tannic backbone. A well-integrated wine, with lots of raspberry, mushroom and wet earth flavors. Best after 1996.Wine Spectator | 90 WS
