Product Description
Domaine Bertrand Machard de Gramont Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Hauts Pruliers' 2017 is a distinguished Premier Cru-level Pinot Noir from Burgundy's revered Côte de Nuits, crafted by the acclaimed father-daughter duo Bertrand and Axelle Machard de Gramont. Sourced from 50-year-old vines in the Les Hauts Pruliers lieu-dit—a steep, shallow-soil parcel above Roncière and Les Pruliers—this wine exemplifies the estate’s commitment to organic viticulture and minimalist winemaking, with indigenous yeast fermentation and aging in used oak to preserve terroir expression. The 2017 vintage delivers a classic Burgundian profile: aromas of raspberry, cherry, and subtle spice meet a palate of vibrant acidity and silky tannins, praised by critics for its "elegant energy" and "mineral-driven finish". With 13-14% ABV and no fining or filtration, it balances immediate drinkability and cellar potential (best from 2026+), pairing beautifully with duck breast, mushroom risotto, or aged Comté 9. A testament to the domaine’s revival of abandoned vineyards and Axelle’s organic stewardship, this wine captures the "proud, determined" spirit of Nuits-Saint-Georges’ rugged terroir.
