Tasting notes
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges La Perrière Blanc 1er Cru feels a little subdued on the nose, eventually unfurling in the glass with beeswax, honeysuckle and melted butter aromas. The palate is rounded on the entry, quite soft in texture with a light saline influence towards the easy-going finish that just needs to convey more energy. Tasted at the Gouges retrospective at La Cabotte.

Made from a white Pinot Noir (Pinot Gouges), the 2015 Nuits St Georges Perrieres Blanc 1Er Cru has a unique style in its mineral, iodine, salty sea-breeze, and stone fruit bouquet. Textured, nicely balanced and clean on the palate, it's more interesting than enjoyable, but so be it.
The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges Les Perrières Blanc has a lovely bouquet: white peach, a hint of almond and vanilla pod, linseed emerging with time. Fine definition here. The palate is well balanced with a smooth entry, hints of white peach and fresh pear, though it just misses a little tension and complexity on the finish. Still, this is a lovely white Burgundy, no more, no less.
