Winemaker Notes
#84 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2019
Intense garnet red hue and aromas of fruit, oak and spice on the nose. The palate reveals a smooth, rich attack, velvety tannins and good balance. A delicate, seductive and very elegant wine.

A touch of gaminess in the aroma gives way to blackberry, black cherry, earth and iron flavors in this rich, solidly structured red. Vibrant and balanced, though this needs a little time to integrate. Terrific length. Best from 2023 through 2042.

Still a bit closed (slight reduction) on the nose. Generous cherry fruit and moderate tannins that are well-integrated, making this a very attractive wine with a silky finish for Nuits St. Georges (a commune often associated with dry tannins). A step up from this producer's village's wines from more than five years ago. Better from 2019.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village is excellent, offering up an attractive bouquet of ripe cherries, blackcurrants and raspberries that mingle with nuances of smoked meats and candied peel. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and elegant, with a concentrated core of fruit, juicy acids and velvety tannins that display an impressive degree of refinement for the appellation. It's a very impressive effort.
