Bertrand et Axelle Machard de Gramont Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Terrasses des Vallerots 2023

Bertrand et Axelle Machard de Gramont Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Terrasses des Vallerots 2023 is a distinctive Pinot Noir from one of the most characterful hillside sites above Nuits-Saint-Georges. Sourced from the terraced Les Vallerots vineyard, it reflects both the precision of modern Burgundian craftsmanship and the historical revival of a long-forgotten parcel.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it is likely to show a bright, polished ruby colour with the clarity typical of high-altitude Pinot Noir. The nose should be expressive and finely detailed, with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, crushed rose petals and subtle earthy spice, supported by a cool, mineral edge. On the palate, expect a sleek, energetic wine with fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins and a lifted, savoury finish. The terraced hillside origin often gives this style impressive definition and tension, with enough structure to age gracefully for several years, developing more complex notes of forest floor, dried herbs and spice over time.

Production
The wine comes from Les Vallerots, a steep, elevated site above Nuits-Saint-Georges just beneath the forest, where terracing was essential to make viticulture possible. After the phylloxera crisis, the roughly four-hectare vineyard lay abandoned and overgrown until Bertrand Machard de Gramont began restoring it in the mid-1980s by clearing parcels, replanting vines and building terraces to control erosion and water flow. The soils are relatively light and varied, contributing to the wine’s finesse and mineral drive; further vinification details are not provided.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir is a natural match for roast poultry, duck breast, mushroom dishes, veal and refined game preparations, as well as aged soft cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 15–17°C, and consider decanting for 20–30 minutes if you want the aromatics to open more quickly.
