Julien Cruchandeau "Les Cabottes" Hautes Cotes de Nuits 2019 MALBEC The inaugural Kongsgaard wines cameMusician turned winemaker Julien Cruchandeau has been farming Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the Hautes Ctes de Nuits and NSG since 2010, producing small batch wines in a hands off style. Les Cabottes is just as fun and crowd pleasing as its maker, showing flavors of crunchy red fruit, mushrooms, and wet earth, marked by silky, well integrated tannins. Serve slightly chilled with red meats, risotto, or game.
