Tasting notes
Healthy dark red. Wild aromas of small red berries, leather and fresh blood. Broad in texture and fine-grained but not yet filled in; hints at coffee and saline minerality but lacks the sweetness of the Vaucrains. The tannins of this youthfully austere wine are dry but not harsh.

The 2014 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru les Saint Georges is more reticent on the nose than the 2014 Vaucrains, with less mineralité coming through. Tight-lipped is the word. The palate is rounded and voluminous with thickly layered red berry fruit that present a fine framework, and yet it does not seem to possess the tension and nervosité, the mineral drive of the Vaucrains. Let's see how this develops in bottle.
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
