Wine Critic Reviews
The 2015 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges contains 30% whole bunch fruit this year. It has a refined and very composed bouquet, detailed with scents of blackberry, raspberry preserve, touches of undergrowth and pressed rose petals. I appreciate the manner in which this gently unfurls with each swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a grainy texture, very well-judged acidity, a little "distant" at first but it gradually opens up in your presence, offering fine structure and spice-tinged raspberry and cranberry notes towards the finish. This is a complex and intellectual offering from one of the appellation's greatest vineyards.

The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a powerful, smudged, rather oppressive bouquet that lacks subtlety and seems to be dominated by the growing season (one of the few in this appellation to be so). The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, a slight metallic taint and a short, rather abrupt finish that displays too much wood tannin. Agh... this was so impressive out of barrel, but this is perplexing. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
