Pronounced “new-ee dawn-fair,” the name Nuits d’Enfer implies a night of passion and no-rules possibilities. The 2022 NdE earns its moniker and black-label Reserve status as an untamed, Bordeaux blend that pairs brooding Cabernet Sauvignon to pedigreed Merlot.
Cépage: 62% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon
**Available Exclusively to Reserve Circle Members through end of December
The 2022 Nuits d’Enfer is fruit-forward, bursting with dark red and blue fruit aromas and flavors: full, ripe blueberry, cherry, raspberry, blackberry, and dark plum. On the palate, fruit flavors marry together with baking spice and a touch of vanilla, tasting like a mixed berry pie. The mouthfeel is rich and full, with a long lingering finish and smooth tannins. The ’22 Nuits d’Enfer would be delicious served with garlic and rosemary grilled lamb chops. Only 98 cases were produced. Recommended consumption now through 2030.
