Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 27 Apr 18
The 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots from the Mugneret sisters is glorious, offering up a deep and complex bouquet of raspberry, plum, dark spice, wood smoke, black chocolate and grilled squab. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and expansive, with a supple frame of tannin, a deep core of succulently ripe fruit and a long, intense and youthfully tight-knit finish. This has great potential and will amply reward the patient.

The 2015 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet, dark berry fruit, light mulch aromas, incense and potpourri, very complex and expressive. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with ferrous red fruit and impressive weight. This was the last vintage that was fully destemmed.

Sweet and rich initially on the nose though perhaps slightly lacking life on the palate. (JR)

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
