Domaine Siblas Nuits Saint Georges 'Les Plantes au Baron' 2019

Originating from France in the Burgundy region, specifically within the Nuits Saint Georges appellation in the Côte de Nuits, Domaine Siblas Nuits Saint Georges 'Les Plantes au Baron' 2019 represents a structured, classic, and age-worthy expression of village level red Burgundy. Closely linked with the historical winemaking heritage of Domaine Maume and Domaine Moron-Garcia, the wines under the Domaine Siblas label emphasize traditional, terroir driven viticulture in benchmark Côte de Nuits climates. Sourced exclusively from 'Les Plantes au Baron', a renowned vineyard parcel situated on gentle, east-facing slopes near the southern boundary of Nuits Saint Georges characterized by gravelly clay-limestone soils over hard bedrock, the winemaking philosophy combines careful hand harvesting, partial whole-cluster fermentation, native yeast fermentation, and extended barrel aging in French oak (approximately 20% to 30% new). The result is a Pinot Noir of great aromatic precision, firm structure, and cellaring capacity.

Wine Description

The wine presents a deep, clear ruby garnet colour with rich dark magenta reflections along the rim. An expressive, highly perfumed bouquet opens with dark, seductive aromas of ripe black cherry, wild raspberry, cassis, and black plum, interwoven with savory notes of dried violet petals, forest floor, iron filings, game, and subtle toasted French oak spice. On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied, firm, and concentrated, delivering robust flavours of dark fruit jam, red currants, and mineral earth, all supported by a bright, mouthwatering spine of natural acidity. Framed by well-integrated, muscular Nuits Saint Georges tannins and a deep mid-palate structure, it concludes with a long, persistent finish marked by lingering black fruit, savory herbs, and a chalky limestone grip. Composed of 100% Pinot Noir, this 2019 release offers an optimal drinking window of 2025–2038. Stylistically, it combines the sunlit warmth and exceptional fruit concentration of the 2019 vintage with classic Burgundian tension, earthiness, and power.
