Thankfully less reductive than the Vieilles Vignes - but there is a shadow of it here on the nose, which slightly dampens the attractive blue fruited nose. There is some cassis too and streak of crushed stone. The palate is a little tighter - packed with deep red flesh, some cherry - bright plum and raspberry too. A whiff of toffee and nice gentle spice, cardamon perhaps - lifts the whole. Sophisticated and neatly poised with great freshness. This is very accomplished and really rather delicious. Two of the Terres Nobles parcels are really old now (87 years and 104 years) and you can sense that intensity and depth to the darker-hued fruit - adding real gravitas somehow to the pure drive in this wine.

Domaine de la Douaix
Mark and Gilles Moustie are Belgians, huge fans of wine and in particular Burgundy. The family rented a gite for many years in the Hautes Côtes village of Arcenant, straight up the hill to the west of Nuits Saint Georges, and gently graduated from buying wines at domaines up and down the Côte to wanting to make the wine themselves. Eventually they bought some vines and a house with cellars, and set to.
Most of their wines are all from vines they own, but they do make a little wine from bought-in fruit to supplement what is still a tiny domaine. Mark is Belgium-based, a management consultant, so it is his son Gilles who is hands-on on a daily basis.

Colour is very dark. Nose of black fruit, palate mineral, lifted, airy, floating. One would never tire of this - it seems to be bottled energy and light. A sort of blackberry jelly fruit on the finish which is still dry...(read more)
