Tasting notes
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Au Bas de Combe, from a single parcel just below Les Boudots and matured in one-year-old wood, has a laid-back bouquet, sultry black fruit with a hint of orange zest and citrus. The palate is taut and a little angular on the entry, but the tannins feel very fine and the fruit beguilingly pure. There is a frisson of energy on the finish that leaves the tongue tingling long after the wine has departed and it represents another superb wine from the domaine.

(the crop level here was a full 50 hectoliters per hectare, which Charles van Canneyt says allowed the wine to retain freshness): Bright medium red. The aroma of black cherry shows a sappy quality. Juicy and intense, displaying a cool, minty, medicinal aspect to its flavors of black cherry and bitter chocolate. Finishes with slightly dry-edged tannins.
A discreet application of wood sets off the spicy and very fresh aromas of red and dark currant that are laced with earth nuances. There is a lush and relatively refined mouth feel to the vibrant middle weight flavors that possess solid concentration to the dusty, sappy and ever-so-mildly rustic finale. Excellent.
