Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Nov 18
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains 1er Cru has one of the most candied and exotic bouquets from within the group of wines tasted from the appellation, featuring copious red fruit, maraschino cherry and canned prune. Fortunately, with aeration it seems to calm down and gain more definition and mineralité. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity and firm, grippy tannins that provide structure and ballast. The mineralité surfaces toward a vivid, blue-blooded finish that tempts you back for another sip even as you realize that you are broaching this Vaucrains a decade prematurely. Impressive. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
