This is aromatically quite similar to the Vaucrains with a bit less wood but more menthol character in evidence. The sleek, rich and highly energetic larger-scaled flavors possess a finer texture though the moderately austere and impressively persistent finish is a bit less powerful and notably less structured. With that said, this excellent effort is still quite firmly constituted. Sweet spot outstanding. Drink 2032+
Another high point of the négoce portfolio is the 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges (Maison Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated wine evocative of wild berries, woodsmoke, orange rind and spices. Layered and vibrant, it's worth seeking out.
Bright ruby colour. The nose is sweet and fleshy, full of strawberry and cherry jam. The palate is much denser, with brooding fruit, earthy spices and a hit of toasted, smoky spice. There are plenty of bass notes here, complemented by chalky, mouthcoating tannins. Ripe and full through to a succulent finish.
