Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru Les Porêts-Saint-Georges 2021

Here too moderate wood sets off the more deeply pitched and more sauvage-inflected aromas of dark currant, violet and forest floor. The delicious and markedly intense medium-bodied flavors flash evident minerality on the moderately austere and lingering finale. Like the Damodes, this could use better depth, but more should reasonably develop with time in bottle.

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.
