Sylvain Cathiard, Nuits Saint Georges Thorey other_regions_italy The 2016 Trotte Vieille is

The 2016 Trotte Vieille is blessed with a finely tuned bouquet of brambly red berry fruit

there is a great balance of structure

It's truly a stunning example of old vine Grenache

Mineral- and smoke-accented blackberry and blueberry on the intensely perfumed nose and in the mouth

quite earthy and resinous

Sylvain Cathiard, Nuits Saint Georges Thorey other_regions_italy The 2016 Trotte Vieille is(from a . 43 ha parcel of vines planted in 1953). An equally pure, cool and restrained nose offers an appealingly spicy array of red currant, cherry and soft earth nuances. Like most of the wines in the range, the mouthfeel of the energetic medium weight flavors is wonderfully refined while possessing excellent complexity on the balanced and youthfully austere finale. Lovely stuff fashioned in an understated style. (90 92) 2025+
