Nuits-Saint-Georges, Les Cailles, 1er Cru, 2024
Cooler red fruits with a touch of menthol. Classically Cailles with great mineral depth and a firm tannic spine. Cool, sapid fruit, translucency and lots of underlying mineral character.?Very true to type. An exemplary, stony vineyard situated mid-slope next to Les St Georges, Chevillon's is a fine parcel of 80-year-old vines, the oldest on the estate.
critic reviews
The 2024 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru was reduced to five or six barrels this year. This is a little edgier and more angular on the nose, more sous-bois coming through. It just needs time to cohere in barrel and then in bottle. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a mixture of red and black fruit tinged with brown spices towards the nicely structured finish. It does not quite have the crystalline purity of the Pruliers but it should drink well for 12 to 15 years.
