Côte-de-Nuits-Villages Aux Montagnes 2013

- 16 points -

Aux Montagnes, just outside Ladoix, with very red soils. 25% new French oak. Pale ruby, with some garnet tones. Graphite and a bloody, iron note, with clove, anthracite and smoke. On the palate, quite firm, but noticeably grainier, more rustic tannins than in either the Niagara or Oregon Pinots. Spicy, saline palate and good length though.
