Tasting notes
The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Charmois comes from a cold terroir that confers an advantage in this kind of growing season. It has a very fragrant, well-defined bouquet of red cherries, crushed strawberry and orange pith. Not complex, but there is lovely purity here. The palate is medium-bodied with quite fine, sharp tannins. There is good tension and mineralité in this Les Charmois, and the saline finish gets the saliva flowing. Excellent.

A cooler if slightly less complex nose features the relatively high-toned essence of red currant, floral and humus. There is both good energy and delineation to the unusually sophisticated mouthfeel for a Nuits villages, all wrapped in a finer if again slightly less complex finale. However, I suspect that this will add depth once it has been bottled and this too is one to look for.
