2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru

Vininformation

95 point - Sarah Marsh in The World of Fine Wines: "Only half the normal production, four of eight barrels. Intense aroma, with red fruit and black pepper. Satin-textured. It is deep and dense, with a firm core enveloped in sweet succulence of fruit. Lithe muscularity. A persistent and smoky graphite finish."

91-93 point - Allen Meadows' Burghound: "Ripe yet cool aromas include those of cassis, poached plum, an array of spice elements plus a whiff of the sauvage. The very rich and even bigger and more voluminous large-scaled flavors also brim with sappy dry extract before culminating in a balanced, powerful and lingering finish where a touch of bitter chocolate slowly emerges. This isn’t massive in the way that it usually is though it is borderline opulent, which is a descriptor I use very rarely with respect to the 2021 reds."

1er Cru Les Vaucrains fra den sydlige del af Nuits-Saint-Georges anses sammen med 1er Cru Les Saint Georges for at være toppen af Nuits-Saint-Georges. Hvis kommunen skulle have Grands Crus, ville Les Vaucrains være én af dem. Les Vaucrains er slet og ret majestætisk. Det er domænets kraftigste vin med en betragtelig struktur, en uanet rigdom af aromaer og smag samt en fylde og længde, der varer ved og ved. Smagen er kraftig og koncentreret med masser af finesse og elegance. En levende og klassisk Pinot Noir med uhørt kompleksitet.
