FAIVELEY

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru Les Porêts-Saint-Georges 2012

There is excellent complexity to the well-layered nose of red pinot fruit, cherry, plum, earth and sandalwood. I very much like the mouth feel to the ripe and enveloping medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract that really coats the palate on the muscular and powerful finish. This moderately austere effort is old school in style and character and will definitely need time in bottle to become more civilized.

About Burghound.com

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
