Tasting notes
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Village is matured in 30% new oak, slightly higher than the Chorey or Savigny-lès-Beaune. It has a tightly wound bouquet with cranberry and wild strawberry fruit, fine mineralité percolating through with time in the glass, hints of wild hedgerow and cold stone tucked underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, brisk and breezing with a steely, focused finish that lingers long in the mouth. I appreciate the aloofness of this village cru, although I strongly suspect it will be less standoffish with three or four years in bottle.

(from vines situated in Au Chouillet and Aux Lavières and then in 2010 a parcel in Aux Argillats was added). This too is wonderfully fresh with its complex if brooding nose of red and dark currant along with plenty of earth and animale hints. There is very fine concentration to the focused and intense medium weight flavors that are shaped by moderately firm but not really rustic tannins on the impressively long finish. This is very much worth checking out provided that you can allow it at least 5 years or so of age and it should reward as many as 10. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
