JEAN TARDY NSG BAS DE COMBE 750 ml

Description

Discover the essence of Burgundy through Jean Tardy NSG Bas de Combe, a red wine hailing from the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges in France. This gem emerges from a modest family estate spanning just five hectares, where every drop reflects unwavering commitment to precision and grace.

Back in 1966, Jean Tardy began tending vines across Nuits-St-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, and Clos Vougeot through a crop-sharing partnership with Domaine Meo-Camuzet. Over the decades from the 1980s onward, he methodically expanded his holdings, securing parcels in Chambolle-Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanée, and Gevrey-Chambertin. This patient growth shaped a domain dedicated to crafting wines of remarkable poise.

In 2001, Jean's son Guillaume stepped into winemaking duties, collaborating closely with his father. Together, they prioritize vibrant, healthy grapes at peak ripeness using short pruning, careful de-budding, and rigorous green harvest to maintain low yields. Fermentation proceeds with minimal intervention via occasional pigeage, preserving the fruit's innate delicacy. Gentle pressing leads to maturation on lees, followed by an initial racking upon final blending. Domain-bottled in limited releases, these wines capture the terroir's subtle symphony.

Jean Tardy NSG Bas de Combe stands out as the estate's flagship, displaying a dense purple-black hue. Its aroma unfolds with concentrated dark fruits that avoid excess ripeness, notes of black cherry blending into ripe strawberry. Ample fruit cushions firm tannins, complemented by balanced acidity. Offering more structure than their Vosne offerings, it promises a poised evolution over medium to long term.

For enthusiasts seeking an authentic Burgundy red wine from Nuits-Saint-Georges, this expression delivers elegance in every sip. Sourced from premier village sites like Bas de Combe, it embodies the Tardys' hands-on legacy. Secure a bottle from this rare production to elevate your collection with a piece of family-driven excellence.
