Nuits St Georges, Les St Georges, 1er Cru, 2021

Complex, almost exotic fruits here, a certain exuberance, with ripe supple, juicy red and black fruits, touches of tea leaf, mulberry, and more strident tannins that the Vaucrains. but also more flesh and density to cover them. A step up in concentration and power, though adhering to the overall character of the vintage this remains a Les St Georges with plenty of charm and texture. The most revered vineyard of Nuits, situated mid-slope and with a great balance of clay and limestone soils – many people believe it should be elevated to Grand Cru status.
