NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Les Charmois
This wine has a crimson, twilight color. On the nose, youthful aromas of cherry, strawberry and blackcurrant. More mature, with leather, truffle and macerated fruit notes such as prune rounding out the bouquet. Structured on the palate, vigorous and full-bodied, it pairs well with tasty, virile meats such as prime rib or roast lamb.
