Tasting Notes

89-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 11
Good deep, bright red. Aromas of chocolatey oak, tobacco and mint. Big, round, solid and rich, but I wanted more energy and lift. Finishes with big but ripe tannins that will not get in the way of early enjoyment. Very 2009 in its creamy, easygoing texture but, as with many wines from this vintage, I don't sense a hidden dimension here.

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.
