Note di degustazione
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru has a much tighter and more backward nose compared *directly with the 2015 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Grands Vignes 1er Cru, but there is attractive marine-tinged black fruit here that will eventually be "let off the leash.” The palate is medium-bodied and displays some quality new oak on the entry that needs time to be subsumed, although the vintage bestowed sufficient fruit to soak that up. This needs a decade in bottle and then I believe it will turn into a very serious proposition. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Bright ruby-red. Very ripe black fruit aromas are currently a bit less expressive and aromatic than those of the Pruliers. Then juicy, detailed and firm on the palate, offering excellent detail and energy to its ripe black fruit and chocolate flavors. Displays excellent concentration and texture in a distinctly dark style. Finishes with serious but very suave tannins that spread out subtly to dust the palate. Nuits-Saint-Georges with compelling depth and refinement. The crop level here was less than 25 hectoliters per hectare, according to Chevillon, who noted that "there were a lot of berries but they never sized up."
The 2015 Nuits Saint George's 1er Cru Les Cailles, which tends to produce low yields, has a rich but much more composed and detailed bouquet compared to the Pruliers this year. The palate is medium-bodied with candied orange peel and brown spices infusing the red berry fruit, fine tannins with a vivacious, lightly spiced finish with great length. This has swagger, sophistication and is just plain delicious - one of Bertrand's favorite wines this vintage and one of mine too.
