Jean-Claude Boisset 2011 Les Charbonnières (Nuits-St.-Georges)

Country: France / Les Charbonnières
Variety: Pinot Noir Burgundy
Winery: Jean-Claude Boisset / Nuits-St.-Georges

This firmly structured, dense wine is packed with dark plum and fig fruits, laced with chocolate and tannins. It’s a solid, foursquare style of wine, with acidity and fruit forming a fine partnership. Like many wines from this year, it is likely to mature quickly, so drink from 2016.
