Tasting notes
Bright ruby-red. The musky dark raspberry and mocha nose exudes a sexy sweetness. Less dense but more delineated than the Clos du Château, conveying a much lower pH impression. Fresh raspberry, blackberry, spice and licorice flavors linger nicely on the lively finish. Very Nuits in character.

The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Lavières has a very composed and refined bouquet with raspberry coulis, blackberry leaf and cold stone aromas. I like the precision here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, sappy red berry fruit, a crisp line of acidity, linear and quite structured with a "correct" finish. Enjoy this Nuits Saint-Georges over the next decade.
Cask sample. Scented, ripe mulberry aromas. Solid effort without anything mind-blowing. Earthbound and competent with riper tannins than usual. Just a little lighter than it used to be? (JR)
