"'The best Nuit Saint Georges village wine – it should be a 1er Cru' is how Guillaume describes ‘Bas de Combe’ – just look at where the vineyard is situated to see why (nestled between 1er Cru ‘Aux Baudots’ and neighbouring Vosne Romanée aristocracy: 1er ‘Chaumes’, and its northern corner practically touching 1er Cru ‘Aux Malconsorts’. From eighty-five year-old vines which have a lot of millanderage." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru Tardy's 2016 Bas de Combe is all about finesse over muscle - a seductive, quietly complex NSG that’s drinking wonderfully now but still has years ahead of it. Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils is a small, quality-focused family estate known for producing polished, supple Burgundies that lean into perfume and purity.
