Note di degustazione
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru feels a little compact and lacks the complexity and personality of some of its peers in a flight of northern Nuits Saint-Georges. The nose is tight and broody at the moment, although it does begin to unfurl with aeration. The palate is well balanced, with more sinew than its peers, but quite strict and linear and missing the peacock’s tail on what feels like a conservative finish. More impressive than charming at the moment, though we’ll see what happens in a few years’ time. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots has a generous, lively bouquet with dark cherries, a hint of blackcurrant and cold stone - very defined with good fruité. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe red cherry and cranberry fruit. It possesses an agreeable sense of reserve towards the second half: more structured with grainy tannins and a chalkiness lingering on the aftertaste. Mugneret-Gibourg aside, Les Chaignots does get better than this. This is an outstanding effort.
(also recently racked): Healthy medium red. Spicier on the nose than the basic village offering, conveying scents of red fruits, earth, chocolate and dried flowers. Lovely spicy, saline wine with red and darker fruit flavors framed by harmonious acidity. Slightly rustic in a Nuits way but with noteworthy concentration. Distinctly more tannic and structured than the village offering. The Gouges have been reducing the yields in this vineyard in recent years by forcing the roots deeper. Gregory Gouges noted that the 50% of these vines that were planted in 1985 are quite vigorous and have a natural tendency to overproduce. But the yield in 2015 was a low 26 hectoliters per hectare.
