Nuits St Georges, Les St Georges, 1er Cru, 2023
Layers of complex fruit wash across the palate, a velvet wave shot through with shards of minerality. High-definition hedonism here, with more scale and grandeur than Cailles or Vaucrains. A mouth-filling, vinous, complex, broad wine of multi-dimensions. Powerful, yet sheathed in rich, caressing fruit. 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
The 2023 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges is lovely, mingling notes of cherries and cassis with hints of rose petal and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping palate that's seamless and lively, with good depth at the core and powdery structuring tannins.
The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a nicely detailed, marine-influenced bouquet that opens beautifully in the glass, revealing light seaweed scents with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation and gentle grip, as just a touch of espresso tinctures dark berry fruit and a nuance of tobacco emerges on the finish. The 2023 is quite a sinewy Les Saint-Georges.
