Note di degustazione
Medium red. Superripe aromas of redcurrant, blackberry, smoke and game, lifted by notes of white flowers and iodine. A supple wine with an attractive restrained sweetness and lovely lift and flavor intensity. This very fresh village wine finishes with firm, broad tannins and bright acidity.

Grivot’s 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Charmois (from steep slopes just west of town) smells of strawberries, nut oils and marrow. Bright and lithe on the palate, with persistent red fruit and nutty themes that lend subtle tartness and bitterness, this may be somewhat dampened-down in finish due to its recent racking. Etienne Grivot aimed this year for gentle extraction (essentially without pigeage), then watchful preservation of the freshness, subtleties and refinement inherent in near-perfect raw material. He performed some very light chaptalization to extend the fermentations. Given the health and natural concentration of his vinous raw material, he felt no need to sulfur or rack the wines until shortly prior to bottling (without filtration), which was the stage at which I tasted.

Medium red. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, tobacco and smoked meat, with a sauvage whiff of fresh blood. Dense and fat with fruit; wild flavors of redcurrant and smoke. Sound acidity and substantial tannins give structure to this village wine.
