Nuits-Saint-Georges, Clos des Porrets, 1er Cru, 2024
A more deeply pitched nose than the villages, with some fine sweet spice and darker polished berry damson notes. Very lovely and pure with fine definition and good depth. On the palate a seam of NSG minerality is evident with a low frequency purr of sweet earth and polished plummy fruit. This is also lovely, more elemental but with polished fruit too. A wine of balance and calm layers that retains that touch of Nuits austerity, but brings a sense of sophistication too.
critic reviews
The 2024 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a perfumed bouquet with brambly red fruit, wilted rose petals, fine definition and admirable purity given the growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly herbaceous opening. There is a strong briny influence here, modest depth though I am seeking more precision on the strict tea leaf finish. Afford this a year or two in bottle.
