Gerard Julien & Fils Cotes de Nuits Armand 2020

$105.00

From vineyards in the village of Comblanchien, just to the south of Nuits-St-Georges. Despite the location, this is very much in the style of the house, being deeply coloured and with a good proportion of new oak. There is a greater lift here however, with sweet red fruits to add to the dark fruits, wood spice and camphor. Terrific energy, shrugging off its embrace of wood, sleek and long in the mouth. Finer tannins too, more of a press of skin than oak, and balanced, integrated. Very powerful still, as are all the wines, but the Armand is very approachable now, though better in five years or so. Waters Wine Co
Discreet wood frames aromas of dark currant liqueur, newly turned earth and a whiff of forest floor. The medium-bodied flavors possess a slightly finer texture along with good vibrancy thanks to the bright acidity that supports the moderately austere, firm and balanced finale. This will need at least a few years of cellaring first.’  88-91 points,Allen Meadow’s Burghound Jan 2022
