Tasting Notes

88-91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 07
Bright ruby-red. Inky aromas of blackberry and spicy oak. Densely packed but less sweet than the Damodes, showing a strong oakiness today and also hinting at surmaturite I find a bit of tannic dryness today, but this may be the impact of some remaining malic acidity. A sample from a second barrel was sweeter in the middle palate but drier on the back end. Solid wine but perhaps a tad coarse.

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.
