Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 08 Oct 25
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Fôrets Saint Georges 1er Cru has a slight metallic reduction on the nose that takes considerable aeration to dislodge. Tart red fruit laced with allspice lies underneath, though it is tightly coiled. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins, crunchier in texture than Liger-Belair's Clos des Grand Vignes, with redder fruit leaning into a more ferrous style. Quite peppery towards the finish, although it has less substance and is just a bit harder than some might like. Perhaps it will soften with time? Maybe in a dumb phase given its wonderful showing from barrel. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Monopole of 7.2 ha (17.8 acres).Deep-medium cherry. Red cherries, raspberry and a little darker plum. Darker and serious, showing more classic Nuits-St-Georges typicality in the structure and the character of fruit. Firm and slightly ferrous. Very structured on the finish. (MH)

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.
