Tasting notes
The 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Poisets reveals a beautifully floral, pure nose of rose petal, violets and raspberry. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and deep, with a vibrant core of fruit, fine-grained tannins and a chalky finish. The lieu-dit of Les Poisets is located below Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles, and was vinified with 100% whole cluster this year.

(100% vendange entier ; tasted from tank): Dark red with ruby tones. Deeper on the nose than the village Vosne, if not iniitially offering the same éclat of that wine; dark berry aromas are complicated by emerging notes of licorice, violet and mint. Plush and broad but quite airy and dry, offering an intriguing combination of thick texture and crunchy fruit. Plenty of stuffing for its ripe tannins. Displays a mineral quality on the spreading, glistening finish. The pH here is a rather high 3.77 but this wine does not lack for energy.
(65+ year old vines). This too is super-fresh with its notably floral-inflected nose of earth, dark currant and a hint of humus. The highly energetic and decidedly more powerful flavors manage to remain on the refined side for a Nuits villages while exhibiting plenty of persistence on the mildly rustic finish where a hint of bitter cherry emerges. This quality effort should benefit from up to a decade of cellaring. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
