Nuits St Georges, Les St Georges, 1er Cru, 2015
More backward than the Vaucrains. The explosive, powerful structure does all of the initial talking, but behind this comes a wave of small concentrated griotte, kirsch, bramble and damson fruit. Broad-shouldered and mighty the fruit expands bit by bit. It will be quite some time before the crest is reached but all the makings are there of a top Nuits. The great vineyard of Nuits, situated mid-slope and with a great balance of clay and limestone soil - many people believe it should be elevated to Grand Cru status..
critic reviews
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a rounded, generous, warm bouquet of red summer fruit, figs and touches of undergrowth. The palate is bold and voluminous, displaying moderate acidity but perhaps not as much tension as the 2014. The finish is clean and pure, but not engaging. It satisfies the senses more than intellect – “a bit of a tart, you might say, but a nice tart at that. Given the Premier Cru, I wager that it will discover more nobility with 10 years in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
