Tasting notes
The 2014 Nuits Saint-Georges Village offers crisp cranberry, crushed strawberry and loam-like scents on the nose, not intense but certainly well defined. The palate is a little grainy in texture on the entry, a classic Pinot Noir really, holding back the fruit but delivering fine tension on the second half. It just cuts away too swiftly on the finish but otherwise, fine. Tasted at the Gouges retrospective at La Cabotte.

Pale ruby and super-fragrant. A delicate wine that suggests redcurrants and a gentle hand with the extraction. More acid than body on the palate with some light tannic structure. A wine to drink rather than cellar but it should give pleasure. Not that long but not at all forced. (JR)
(in cuve ):Bright medium red. Floral, spicy aromas of cherry and currant, plus a hint of menthol. Juicy and fine-grained, in a rather cool style. Still a bit hardened by the sulfur treatment ten days before my visit but in an elegant style for Nuits-Saint-Georges, offering lively flavors of red fruits, flowers and mint and a firm back end.
The 2014 Nuits Saint-Georges Villages had just been racked and is planned to be bottled this coming December. Now this has fresh vibrant black cherry and blueberry fruit on the nose - vivacious and nicely defined. The palate is smooth on the entry with tart red cherries and cranberry, a touch of black tea in the background. Good acidity and respectable weight considering the vintage and that this is a village cru. Recommended.
