Tasting notes

A pleasing ruby colour. The bouquet shows the perfect match of Vosne hedonistic fruit with the extra weight of Nuits-St-Georges. Fruit floods the palate, dark raspberry, a light acidity, tannins submerged beneath the fruit, a light touch of oak, and remarkably persistent. Very fine indeed. Enjoy it because two thirds of the plot on 161/49 rootstock was taken out after the 2022 harvest. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted: November 2023. 5 stars.

The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Murgers 1er Cru, a vineyard of which two-thirds is being re-planted, has a fruit-driven bouquet: blackberry and raspberry, touches of crushed rock and hedgerow. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. It’s a structured Les Murgers, though not heavy, with white pepper and clove lining the persistent, graceful finish. Very elegant.
