Domaine Nico

93- & 92-Point
Extreme Elevation Pinot Noir
By Laura Catena

Domaine Nico Pinot Noir 2017s

We are thrilled to introduce these beautiful old-world-style Pinot Noirs from Laura Catena. Laura named this exciting new project after her Daughter Nicola who was named after her Great-Grandfather Nicola. This new project is both an hommage to her Great-Grandfather and to Burgundy, which is near and dear to her heart. This vintage, 2017, is the inaugural release in the United States and the elegance and purity of these Pinot Noirs from the Valle de Uco blew us away when we tasted them. These wines are incredibly well balanced, largely due to the high elevation of the vineyards which are between 3,600ft and 4,950ft of elevation. The large temperature difference between day and night at these elevations helps create significant natural acidity in the grapes. This is also the highest elevation single-parcel Pinot Noir project in the world.

The Grand Père - with 93 Pts - is the highest scoring 2017 Pinot Noir that Stephen Tanzer has rated so far, tying with Marquis d'Angerville's Volnay Clos des Ducs 2017

These are very limited so get them while you can

Domaine Nico Pinot Noir Grand Père 2017

Bright medium red. Slightly liqueur-like aromas of raspberry, strawberry, loamy spices and coffee, lifted by a topnote of rose petal. Lovely supple, pliant Pinot Noir with sweet red fruit and spice flavors nicely buffered by integrated acidity. Combines noteworthy silky depth with serious inner-mouth lift to project a sensation of weightlessness. Finishes juicy, firm, saline and long. Very suave Pinot with mid-term aging potential. My second bottle of this wine was even better, as it began very tight and minerally, then opened slowly with air to show increasing richness. . ."

Domaine Nico Pinot Noir Grand Mère 2017

"Palish medium red. Salty aromas of strawberry, mocha and crushed stone enlivened by a peppery stem component. Juicy, fine-grained and uncompromisingly dry, conveying a strong impression of terroir. Distinctly red flavors of raspberry, red cherry and strawberry display sneaky saline intensity and umami character. Finishes with palate-staining persistence and a light touch. This wine and the Grand Père were aged in used 500-liter barrels. (from a south-facing parcel on limestone soil with rocks in the Villa Bastías vineyard; vinified entirely with whole clusters)."
