Labouré-Roi 2014 Les Cailles Premier Cru (Nuits-St.-Georges)

Country: France / Les Cailles Premier Cru
Variety: Pinot Noir Burgundy
Winery: Labouré-Roi / Nuits-St.-Georges

This is a rich, soft wine with jammy black fruits and ripe tannins. The acidity will hold the wine together and allow it to age. A mineral edge comes from the caillou (stones) in the soil—hence the wine’s name. It will age, although quickly, so drink from 2018.
