The marls give this wine the silky character of tannins, the elegance of perfumes and the slight acidity that make it easy to taste from its youngest age. However, this impression of easiness is misleading: thanks to the almost perfect balance of this wine, it can age 10 to 15 years while preserving its fruity expression and its freshness.
The "Clos des Réas" is located on the hillock that overhangs the small Réas valley. The geological stratum of the subsoil is a "Salmon conglomerate" on the Oligocene strata, with, at this place, a large quantity of limestone blocks alternated with marls. This soil profile, together with the slope, ensures excellent drainage.
Reduction dominates everything save for subtle spice wisps that are discernible through the funk. The rich, seductive and caressing medium-bodied flavors also coat the palate thanks to the abundance of dry extract that also buffers the moderately firm tannic spine shaping the balanced and youthfully austere finale. This will also need to develop more depth but like the Nuits 1er, this also has an excellent aging track record. Outstanding Drink: 2031+
