Nuits St Georges, Les St Georges, 1er Cru, 2017

justerini & brooks tasting note

Dense and powerful. Clearly layered and complex. This needs time to reveal nuance but air gradually unveils notes of undergrowth, kirsch, wild strawberry and spices. A big, bold Nuits with a lengthy finish. Not unlike one of the richer Gevrey Grand Cru such as Mazoyeres. The great vineyard of Nuits-St.-Georges, perfectly situated mid slope, that has the potential to be the region’s only Grand Cru.

critic reviews

93+/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a very pure, very pretty bouquet that displays impressive delineation and focus; the pedigree is easy to see here. The palate is well balanced, very saline and sappy in the mouth, delivering good depth and substance and a spicy, almost fiery finish that wants to be noticed. Very promising, but give it time, because it clearly has a lot of potential. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
