Tasted blind at Flint Wines’ 2007/2012 Nuits Saint-Georges tasting in London. The 2010 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras from Lamarche has a bold, quite candied bouquet with dense black cherry and cassis scents that rather occlude the terroir expression. The palate is sweet and generous on the opening, rounded and opulent with a lot of extraction given the vintage. Yet there is a nagging feeling that it is a little monochromatic on the finish. Not bad, although I suggest that winemaker Nicole Lamarche has subsequently produced better wines from the vineyard in 2013 and 2015. Tasted November 2016.
