The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Chaignots 1er Cru has a very Vosne-like bouquet with pure black plums, blueberry and pressed violet scents that blossom in the glass. It shows fine delineation, though it is quite bold and perhaps flashy in style. Eventually, it seems more intent on impressing, and I wonder if there is much behind it. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. Quite a "solid" Nuits Saint-Georges, grippy but missing elegance and complexity towards the slightly forced finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

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.
