Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru Les Porêts-Saint-Georges 2014

No such reduction plagues the nose in this case as there is both good freshness and expressiveness to the array of red berry fruit, earth, sauvage and smoky hints. The appealingly textured, intense, detailed and vibrant middle weight flavors possess a completely different mouth feel while delivering a lingering, complex and more obviously austere finale. This too is very Nuits in style and will need a few more years of bottle age as the supporting tannins are markedly firm.

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.
