Note di degustazione
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Cras 1er Cru is heavily reduced and displays a touch of brettanomyces that obscures any fruit expression. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry, low in acidity, and quite animally and bretty, with a smudged finish. This wine performed much better in barrel, and given the showing of the domaine's other 2015s, I suspect this was just a misbehaving bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Saturated medium ruby. Utterly primary on the nose, offering very ripe but not overripe scents of blackberry, licorice and dark chocolate liqueur; totally different from the preceding Vosne-Romanée bottlings, even though this premier cru is on the Vosne side of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Lively and youthfully imploded, conveying a strong impression of energy and extract to its flavors of blackberry, crushed blueberry, dark chocolate and spices. Finishes saline, tactile and very long, with a repeating note of dark chocolate and terrific vinosity. The yield here was just 26.5 hectoliters per hectare, said Liger-Belair, who planned to bottle this wine later than usual.
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras was demonstrating a lot of reduction on the nose, making it difficult to read. The palate is more representative with good density and a solid structure. It represents quite a masculine Nuit Saint-Georges with more black fruit than red, exerting a gentle grip in the mouth and blessed with a compelling saline finish. This is superb.
