Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Nuits-Saint-Georges 2021

Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Nuits-Saint-Georges 2021 is a classic, structured Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits, Burgundy (France). The producer is widely recognised for its purist, traditional approach, often picking late and fermenting with full stems (100% whole bunches), which gives the wines vibrant freshness and excellent longevity.

Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Nuits-Saint-Georges 2021 is a red Burgundy Pinot Noir with aromas of black fruit and spice, known for its complex palate and ripe tannins.

The Confurons — Yves, Jean-Pierre and patriarch Jacky — are the current generations of a very old Burgundy family, with mentions of the family even at the court of Louis XIV. The Domaine is run by Yves and Jean Pierre, though its soul is Yves, who divides his time with Domaine de Courcel in Pommard. The family is very close and father Jacky always helps when he can. Several qualities make this producer special. First, unlike most producers in Burgundy, Yves picks much later, waiting until the Pinot Noir is fully ripe, and then vinifies with 100% stems, seeking freshness and finesse. Second, a purist philosophy, with no interventions that harm the vineyard or the grapes, combined with almost obsessive rigour. The result is great wines that may at first seem "too" luscious, but after half a dozen years become masterful. As a curiosity, and an honour no other family has, there's a Pinot Noir variety in Burgundy called Pinot Confuron.
