In the Glass — Tasting Notes

This benchmark Nuits-Saint-Georges opens with savory intensity—dark cherry and blackcurrant layered beneath white pepper and dried herbs—that settles into genuine refinement as it breathes. On the palate, firm yet polished tannins provide backbone without aggression, while a clean mineral spine runs through to lingering length. The structure unfolds slowly, rewarding patience with new facets as the wine warms in the glass.

The Winery — Jean-Claude Boisset

Grégory Patriat, winemaker at the Côte de Nuits négociant, brings a vineyard-led philosophy refined during his time at Domaine Leroy. Founded by the Boisset family in 1961, the company now operates from Les Ursulines, a former convent converted into a gravity-fed winery in the village's heart. This 2022 Tribourg comes from 40-year-old vines on a 14th-century site with southeast aspect and pebbly clay soils. A cool pre-fermentation maceration, 40% whole bunch, and 23 days on skins allow 40% new oak to sit in service of the fruit. The 2022 vintage itself was remarkable—cold spring protection followed by summer heat tempered by June rains delivered exceptional ripeness and concentration.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Drink now through 2032 with roasted chicken, beef bourguignon, aged Gruyère, duck, or stews and braises.
