Nuits St Georges, Les Cailles, 1er Cru, 2023
A highly sophisticated Nuits offering that has greater creaminess and silkiness as well as more flesh and tannin than Pruliers, but not at the expense of finesse. The texture here is glorious, sleek and flowing, with driving length as the luxurious tannins unwind, releasing fruit as they go. Very complete. 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
Wafting from the glass with notes of cherries, smoky berries, licorice and rose petals, the 2023 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with its usual suave, seamless profile and lively fruit flavors.
The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru has an expressive, well-defined bouquet that gains clarity in the glass, with black cherries underscored by touches of espresso and allspice. The oak is neatly integrated and the palate is medium-bodied. This is a more austere Nuits Saint-Georges, with grainy tannins and gentle grip on the slightly abrupt finish. Fine.
