1 | Wine | Cote de Nuits, $20 to $50

"Expressive aromas of dark fruits, coffee and chocolate. Sweet, very ripe and pliant, with enticing inner-mouth aromatic character. Finishes with ripe tannins and lingering sweetness. This will make a good restaurant wine but should also last well. This was my favorite of the Jadot village wines, although the Nuits-Saint-Georges should turn out well, especially if Lardiere declassifies some premier cru juice into it, as he expects to do."-Stephen Tanzer.

"Bernard Maume’s Côtesde Nuits Village rouge balances concentration with brightness,juicy fruit with earthy depths, and focused power with subtle grace."

"Plum jam and spice flavors mark this red, whose texture is open and backed by a layer of tannins at the end. Just a bit hollow in the middle."

"Rich and juicy, with black cherry and plum flavors allied to dense, well-integrated tannins. Tobacco and spice accents grace the finish."
