Tasting notes
This is also generously wooded with a similar fruit profile to that of the Bousselots. The texture of the medium weight flavors is slightly finer, if a bit less concentrated, with a more minerality in evidence on the firm, youthfully austere and balanced finale. The healthy dollop of wood aside, this is really quite pretty and the mid-palate appears to have the stuffing to eventually absorb the oak and my predicted range assumes that it will.

This half-hectare parcel, acquired in 2020, has put in a persuasive performance with the 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Roncières, opening in the glass with aromas of cherries, dark berries, vine smoke, licorice and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and concentrated palate that's lively and complete.
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Roncière 1er Cru seems to carry the 50% new oak better than the Bousselottes, offering a mélange of red and black fruit, a light oyster shell influence in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe red berry fruit, veins of blood orange and a tang of marmalade leading to a slightly savory finish that lingers in the mouth. Afford this three or four years in bottle. (NM)
