Description
This vineyard is in the southern part of Nuits, just below Les Pruliers. Thibault’s vines were planted in 1949. It is a fairly classical interpretation of Nuits, with spicy dark fruits and a chalky, peppery freshness. Thibault has succeeded in taming the tannins a little with some whole bunches.

About this wine
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
