At the most recent gathering of Burgundy and Pinot Noir ravers this wine was the consensus standout. Named after Bernarde Delesclache, the first sister superior or manager of the Hospice de Nuits who began her 26 tenuree in 1692. This is classic NSG, black fruits and power balanced with a creamy oak undertone. B-21 scored 1 of 3 barrels produced at the 2009 auction/tasting. We have 1.5Ls too! This will age gracefully and easily until the middle of the decade.
