Tasting notes
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a perfumed, floral bouquet that is quite Vosne-like. Violets infuse the black cherries and crushed strawberries. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, fleshy and ripe, but there is brightness and tension, with greater harmony on the finish compared to Gouge's Vaucrains. This is a successful Nuits Saint-Georges in a difficult vintage. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges opens in the glass with aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with warm spices, baking chocolate and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, it's gourmand and dramatic, with lively acids and ample reserves of powdery tannin.
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru is ripe and quite opulent on the nose with macerated small black cherries, boysenberry and just a little raspberry confit, becoming more minty with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, sorbet-fresh and delineated, surprisingly linear at the moment where perhaps this wine is beginning to close in for winter. I think that opulence will just calm down and it should evolve into a very fine Les Saint-Georges.
