2023 Nuits-St-Georges Aux Lavières, Jean Grivot

2023 Nuits-St-Georges Aux Lavières, Jean Grivot

Aux Lavières is tucked just beneath premier cru Aux Murgers, on the Vosne side of the appellation, and as a result it’s a major step up on your regular village cuvée. This wine opens with flavours of black cherry, violets with a creamy, caressing feel on the palate. The finish is very detailed with dark berry fruits and a little liquorice.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Lavières is understated on the nose, with a mixture of red and black fruit, rose petals and light blueberry scents. This is Vosne-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with finely spun tannins and a touch of cracked black pepper. This is an animated Aux Lavières that I feel might shade the previous vintage. It's very fine, very nuanced.

A more complete purple. A mix of plums and red berry fruit, what one would expect. Good tension on the palate, very peppery on the palate which does not distract, just adds an element of interest. Lovely darker cherry note behind. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Nov 2024.
