Nuits-Saint-Georges, Clos des Porrets, 1er Cru, 2023
A peppery nose with black spice over rosehip and much more stoniness to the finish. This has a firmness at heart and a different type of fruit, less sweetness, more of a leaning to crushed stones. This is a real, if refined, Nuit St Georges, with a cool heart of stone, but a finishing impression of dried flowers and fine bramble fruits. Contrary to the village, this will take a bit of time to come round. A Gouges Monopole that sits just under Perrieres, and is almost as stony. Facing full east, it is habitually one of the first sites to ripen.
critic reviews
The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges 1er Cru was taken from the tank. This is pure and opulent on the nose, but there is a sense of control and delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe black fruit notes, touches of blueberry and raspberry coulis and just a hint of licorice toward the finish. Give this three or four years in bottle.
