Nuits St Georges, Les St Georges, 1er Cru, 2022

justerini & brooks tasting note

As ever this offers up an exuberant and slightly hedonistic combination of sweet red fruit, spice and expressive exotic fruit lushness. Fanning out across the palate, the concentration and intensity of the fruit completely engulfs the tannins at this early stage, though you can feel the structure is there. Layered, expressive and wide angled – a multi-dimensional and demonstrative Pinot Noir of real amplitude. The great vineyard of Nuits St Georges, perfectly situated mid slope, that has the potential to be the region's only Grand Cru.

93-96/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges is the king of the cellar, exhibiting beautiful aromas of raspberries, blood orange, sweet spices, peonies, licorice and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless and complete palate that's deep and layered, with a vibrant core of fruit, supple tannins and a long, perfumed finish.

The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has impressive purity on the nose. It takes a few swirls of the glass to get motoring, but there is fine delineation, quite precocious black fruit mixed with dried iris and violets. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins matched by a silver bead of acidity. Quite tensile, it is slightly powdery towards the finish, fanning out in a confident fashion. Give it four or five years to assimilate the oak - it's a serious and compelling Les Saint-Georges.
