Jean-Marc Millot, Cote Nuits Villages Faulques

Jean-Marc Millot, Cote Nuits Villages Faulques(a 1. 8 ha monopole in Comblanchien). This is also aromatically very pretty with its aromas of essence of red currant, cherry and discreet earth elements. Here too the medium weight flavors possess good richness and power along with an appealing sense of tension that suffuses the more persistent if more rustic finale. Even so, there is more here, and this is worth checking out.

An unusually high-toned nose of red berry fruit

There is excellent volume to the relatively powerful larger-scaled flavors that retain good refinement and particularly so on the lingering and beautifully balanced finale

There is better energy as well as more evident minerality on the sleek and sophisticated flavors that deliver superb length and depth on the balanced finale

focused and linear finish that ends a bit abruptly

it will be tough to track down

offering intense dark fruit compote flavors energized by peppery spice and mineral qualities

Once again firm reduction relegates the underlying fruit to the background

this is still very much on the way up and while it actually could be enjoyed now with an hour of air
