Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru 'Les Saint Georges' 2016

Firm reduction renders the nose impossible to assess. By contrast there is terrific punch and freshness to the muscular, big and bold flavors that brim with both dry extract and minerality before concluding in a powerful, serious and driving finale. This isn’t a refined wine,indeed it could aptly be described as old school, yet there is plenty of underlying material. Ultimately, if you have the patience to allow this a long snooze in a cool cellar, it should be marvelous.


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.
