Tasting notes
Bright red. Slightly high-toned aromas of black cherry and stone. Suppler and riper than the rather slight and salty village wine that preceded it in my tasting but the dark fruit flavors could use a bit more verve. Finishes classically dry, with good breadth, a chocolately quality and serious tannic spine.

The 2013 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru les Chaignots has darker fruit on the nose than the village cru: blackberry and raspberry, light sous-bois scents emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly lactic entry, hints of mocha lining the red berry fruit with quite a forward, sumptuous finish that comes as a surprise given the vintage. This may improve once in bottle.
