Productinformation

The Ultra cuvées take the concept of terroir one step further by transcending the unique expression of each climate.

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru ‘La Richemone’ cuvée Ultra comes from the southern part of the appellation. This old vineyard (65+ years), of 0.57ha has a rare soil composition. Consisting of both stony soil, which ensures perfect drainage and deep rooting, and chalky clay. The richness of this terroir combined with the old vines gives this cuvée a sensual softness and invigorating freshness with with exceptionally delicate tannins, remarkable concentration, depth and complexity.

2022 was marked by striking climatic contrasts. A rainy autumn was followed by a frosty December. Spring brought unusually mild weather and spring was also particularly mild, culminating in May, which was the warmest in 50 years, encouraging vigorous growth. The summer was one of the hottest since 2023 with several heat waves.

Harvest began on 31 August in summer temperatures. Despite the extreme conditions, it produced wines of great finesse and remarkable elegance, with outstanding freshness and generous volume on the palate.

Production consists of just: 640 bottles / 122 magnums

This wine is a real liquid velvet, disarmingly fresh, full-bodied, intense and harmonious. It is concentrated without being heavy, with a generous long finish that lingers on the palate.
