Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
This superb, half-hectare parcel belongs to the Gagey family with whom Maison Louis Jadot have been fortunate enough to hold a long-term contract for the fruit. Charming and open-knit, there is a playful interplay between red cherry and toasted oak on the nose, which is carried over onto the palate. There is a hint of sweetness early on which eventually gives way to the wine’s natural power and chalky tannins. A joy to taste.
Region
Nuits Saint Georges
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
