Nuits-Saint-Georges, Les Cailles, 1er Cru, 2006
justerini & brooks tasting note
This shows wonderful precison and harmony, deft but not dainty this is both powerful and full of charm, demonstrating aromatic ripe fruit flavours, intense sweet cherry and damson notes, silky textured with haunting length of flavour.

92+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Good deep red. Brooding aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, licorice and smoky minerals are reticent but pure, with a chalky nuance emerging with air and carrying through onto the palate. Impressively rich and dense, offering superb depth of fruit with considerable power. The big, spreading tannins saturate the palate. Not finer than the 2007 but chewier and larger-scaled.
