Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur « La Réserve de Cyprien » 2023 – Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits

The wine has a pale ruby color. On the nose, it is reserved and requires aeration. The wine then expresses aromas of crisp strawberry, tart red cherry, cranberry and raspberry, combined with a floral touch of violet and blueberry, a fresh herbaceous hint (blackcurrant leaf, mint in the background), as well as a sappy and spicy hint (licorice, a hint of cardamom). On the palate, the wine is juicy, tangy and fruity. The attack expresses notes of red cherry, cranberry with a hint of bitterness, raspberry and blackcurrant, combined with a herbaceous side (blackcurrant leaf), spice (liquorice) and a slight toasted touch (toasted hazelnut, toasted wood in the background). There is also a very slight peppery hint and violet. Tannins are fine, precise and velvety. The finish is rather persistent, lively and offers a salivating acidity, as well as a good bitterness.
