The 2022 Confuron-Cotetidot Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Vignerondes is a structured and site-driven Burgundy from the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation in France’s Côte de Nuits. Produced exclusively from Pinot Noir by the respected Confuron-Cotetidot estate, this wine reflects the estate’s traditional approach, emphasising vineyard expression, tannin structure and long-term ageing potential. The 2022 vintage delivered ripe fruit concentration balanced by freshness and vibrant acidity, resulting in a wine with both depth and precision. The nose is layered and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and red plum alongside notes of dried herbs, spice, forest floor and subtle earthy complexity.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with refined yet persistent tannins and bright acidity that provide balance and structure throughout. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and plum skin are supported by savoury notes of liquorice, clove and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. The clay and limestone-rich soils of Les Vignerondes contribute mineral detail and depth, while the estate’s low-intervention style preserves the purity of fruit and site character. The texture is concentrated yet controlled, leading into a long, dry finish with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances that continue to evolve in the glass.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Burgundy for customers seeking a structured and cellar-worthy Nuits-Saint-Georges with classic Côte de Nuits character and savoury complexity. The 2022 vintage combines concentration with freshness and should continue to evolve gracefully over the next 8–12 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, lamb, mushroom dishes, slow-cooked beef or aged hard cheeses.
