According to Ambroise, a May hail storm reduced the production of his 2001 Cote de Nuits-Villages by 50%. This medium-bodied wine offers precocious red fruit aromas interspersed with notes of grapefruit peels. On the palate, it displays an impressive attack, filled with jammy red fruits, that tightens in the mid-palate on an acidic streak. It should be consumed over the next 2 years.
