Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Nov 18
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Grands Vignes 1er Cru has a hell of a lot of reduction on the nose that blurs the fruit and makes the terroir impossible to read. The palate seems to have a bit of CO2 on the entry. Fresh but extremely primal, with good acidity and candied orange peel and savory notes on the finish. This is a difficult one to fathom, but it might turn out well. It just needs several years in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

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.
