Tasting notes
(more clay than chalk here): Good bright red. Subdued nose hints at dark fruits. Juicy and penetrating on the palate, with black cherry and sappy dark berry flavors lifted by a floral quality. Nicely fine-grained for a south-side Nuits-Saint-Georges, due in part to the fact that winemaker Pierre Vincent cut back on the number of punchdowns. Finishes firmly tannic and persistent.

The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Corvées Pagets, which had been bottled the previous week, conveyed a sense of airiness on the nose. Call it the "gaps between the fruit". The palate is crisp and linear with tart red cherry fruit, a touch of citrus peel and tangy Seville orange marmalade towards the finish that just cuts away a little swiftly. Once it recovers from bottling this will be a very decent premier cru, although I am just seeking a little more substance to develop.
A spicy, fresh and vaguely earthy nose reflects notes of mostly red berry fruit and floral aromas. There is both fine richness and volume to the fleshy medium-bodied flavors that are moderately firm, balanced and delicious while offering solid depth and length. Lovely and understated.
