Tasting notes
1.42 ha from seven lieux-dits in the north of the appellation. 100% whole bunch. Lightish cherry red but greyish rather than crimson. A little more savoury than the Bourgogne and a very slight stemmy herbal note but it's subtle. A little bit peppery. More tension here than in the Bourgogne, a little lighter in obvious fruit and a little more tannic but barely so. Super-fresh. Dry and lingering. So elegant. (JH)

Aromas of red berries, potpourri and rich soil tones introduce the 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village, a medium to full-bodied, deep and succulent wine that's elegantly fleshy and enveloping, framed by an ample chassis of ripe, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, sapid finish.
The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Village has a very pure bouquet of raspberry, wild strawberry and hints of blue fruit; pressed violets emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, and quite firm, offering a mixture of red and black fruits laced with truffle and cedar toward the finish. Very fine.
