Tasting notes
The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Village is matured in 30% new oak, although Emmanuel Rouget took this sample from a new barrel. It has a refined, pure nose, not powerful yet finely tuned, with subtle floral aromas. The well-balanced palate has a core of red fruit laced with blood orange and citrus peel notes that carry through to the lively, effervescent finish. I am deeply impressed by this Village Cru. Chapeau !

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village wafts from the glass with a deep-pitched bouquet of cherries, cassis, berries, orange rind and rich soil tones. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and muscular, with powdery structuring tannins, succulent acids and a long, expansive finish. It should come together nicely in time for bottling next summer. This cuvée sees 30% new oak.
