Note di degustazione
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Village is rather disappointing, given the vintage. With light and rather rustic red fruit, it doesn't translate the ripeness offered by this growing season. Likewise, the palate lacks depth and fruit concentration. It's rather skinny with a surprisingly austere finish. Is this going through a difficult adolescent patch? Tasted at Premnord in Burgundy.

Solid but not too heavy and dour any more. Correct, bone-dry mouthful even if not exactly chock full of charm at this early stage. (JR)
The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges Village, a blend on different small blocks between the south and middle of the appellation, offers a fragrant, well-defined bouquet with red cherries and cranberry fruit. There is impressive mineralité and transparency considering this is a "mere" village cru. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, tart cherries mixed with bergamot and hints of early grey. I appreciate the complexity here and it marks a significant step up from the Bourgogne Rouge.
(racked into tank and sulfured ten days before my November visit): Medium red. Rather cool aromas and flavors of redcurrant, cherry and coffee complicated by an element of smoky minerality. A supple wine of moderate flesh, offering subtle mid-palate sweetness and a suggestion of underbrush. Finishes with a rather suave dusting of tannins.
