2005 Domaine Desertaux-Ferrand Côte de Nuits-Villages Vieilles Vignes

SKU #1035385

This delightful Côte de Nuits-Villages displays the advantage of buying Burgundy from the less fashionable areas. It is rich, full bodied and has a long finish, with pronounced blackberry fruit notes. This is an extraordinary buy at this price. Although the wine comes from the village of Corgolin, it works with the supple and charming character of the vintage to produce a charming, rich wine for current drinking. It shows ripe fruit and lots of charm, along with a floral note. The finish has a note of black fruit and an interesting spice. This is a favorite of mine for affordable Burgundy. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy buyer)

This is darker, richer and really showcases that dark fruit/berry Côte de Nuits character. This wine is just as charming, but carries more weight and round ripe fruit on the mid-palate. It has more fruit, more body and more aromatics and it is well worth the extra money. Drink it now or even put it away for a couple of years (or both); you will not regret it!

Beautiful tannins and texture; but lacking in perfumes or aromas; a teaser that does not fully deliver; perhaps closed or shut in at this time?

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Pinot Noir

- The Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in the cooler climate of Burgundy, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne that is used in all of the Côte d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Germany, the U.S., Australia, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success. Here is a list of our bestselling Pinot Noir.
Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
Sub-Region:

Burgundy

- The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Côte d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Côte de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Côte de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Côte d'Or. Also include by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north. View our bestselling Burgundy.
Specific Appellation:

Nuits Saint Georges

- A long, narrow appellation, and the southernmost commune of importance in the Côtes de Nuits. Nuits St. Georges tend to be sturdy, muscular wines, which are tannic in their youth. There are no Grands Cru in the town, but several Premier Cru vineyards. The wines from the north side of the village, towards Vosne-Romanée are distinctly different in character than those from the southern vineyards. The vineyards traditionally among the best are in the South, including Cailles, Vaucrains, St. Georges, and Argillières. These vineyards are on deep brown limestone. The northern vineyards, on the other side of the river Meuzin, have more in common with those of Vosne Romanée. The vineyards are composed of pebbles and limestone, and the wines have more of the finesse and elegance of Vosne, but with the structure of Nuits St. Georges.
