Domaine Aurélian Verdet
The results are fabulous, the wines showing a wonderfully vibrant and fluid character with a very natural and pure fruit quality.
Aurélian Verdet is an incredibly enthusiastic and driven young vigneron whose father was one of the pioneers of organic viticulture in the early 1970's. Aurélian carried on the tradition following his father's retirement in 2005. His Domaine now comprises holdings in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Vosne Romanée villages, 1er Cru Beaux Monts, 1er Cru Nuits Damodes and Boudots all of which is organically certified. Aurélian's passion is in the vineyards which are meticulously tended to produce the highest quality fruit. His approach in the cellar is one of minimal intervention with the use of very small amounts of sulphur, a very gentle pressing and a softest possible extraction to express the natural flavours of the grapes and the terroir. This is followed by ageing in barrels of which only 40% are new. The 2010 harvest started on 25th September allowing the grapes to reach perfect ripeness. The results are fabulous, the wines showing a wonderfully vibrant and fluid character with a very natural and pure fruit quality.

| Vosne Romanée |
£295.00 |
 |
A wonderfully pure, attractive wine with supple, juicy cassis and sweet plum aromas and succulent, smooth berry fruit on the palate. Darker damson and fig characters in the background give a slightly exotic quality, all of which is balanced by appealing, mouthfilling tannins and great persistence and length. This wine will be simply delicious young but it has the power and finesse to mature for many years. Drink from 2015.
| Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Damodes |
£445.00 |
 |
A wine with lovely, sweet, lifted aromas followed by exotic, almost sensual leather and spice notes. The palate is concentrated and dense with great energy and fluidity and firm, velvety tannins which provide magnificent structure but are barely perceptible. This is an accomplished, harmonious and very attractive wine. Drink 2015.
| Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Boudots |
£450.00 |
 |
Pure, sweet redcurrant and cassis fruit aromas with hints of blueberries and violets. The fruit on the palate is intense and juicy with a core of deep, dark, dense red berry fruits with lighter and exotic spice and dried fruits notes in the background. This is a deliciously seductive and elegant wine. Drink 2014.
| Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Beaumonts |
£495.00 |
 |
Deep, dark and powerful, this magnificent Vosne Romanée is packed full of rich, dark and succulent fruit with seamlessly integrated, smooth tannins and notes of spices and sweet wild herbs. This wine has masses of potential and will develop great complexity over the next decade or so. Drink from 2017.
