Domaine Jean Tardy & Fils, Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Cuvée Maëlie, 2018

$52.50

Cuvée Maëlie comes from hillside vineyards above the Côte de Nuits, an area where higher elevations and cooler evenings naturally shape Pinot Noir with freshness and definition. Domaine Jean Tardy & Fils handles these parcels with the same attentive farming and gentle cellar work that informs their village and premier cru wines, focusing on ripe fruit, clean fermentations and a balanced frame.

The 2018 vintage is bright and expressive, showing red cherry, raspberry and subtle floral notes alongside a hint of spice. The palate is smooth and focused, guided by fine tannins and well-integrated acidity that keep the wine poised from start to finish. It offers the immediacy expected from the Hautes Côtes while carrying a touch more refinement than many wines at this level.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Farming: Sustainable practices
Style: Red. Fresh, lightly structured and expressive
