Bertrand Machard de Gramont Hauts Pruliers 2018

Country: France
Region and Appellation: Burgundy Nuits-Saint-Georges

Domaine Bertrand Machard de Gramont Nuits-Saint-Georges 'Hauts Pruliers' 2018 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 parcel with thin, rocky soils that stress the vines to produce concentrated fruit—this wine embodies the estate’s commitment to organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged 13–20 months in used oak barrels, it reveals a vibrant ruby hue with garnet reflections, offering aromas of raspberry, strawberry, and cherry, nuanced by hints of vanilla and forest floor. On the palate, its fresh, mineral-driven structure and silky tannins make it a versatile pairing for grilled red meats, game, or aged cheeses. With 13% ABV and no fining or filtration, this 2018 vintage balances immediate drinkability and cellar potential, earning praise for its purity and terroir expression—a testament to the domaine’s legacy of revitalizing abandoned vineyards like Les Vallerots nearby.
