Tasting notes
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Argillières 1er Cru has a tightly-wound bouquet, with wilted rose petals infusing the raspberry and cranberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, with a slightly powdery texture, a keen thread of acidity and a cohesive, complex and peppery finish. This is a successful wine for the vintage, and I am fascinated to see how it will age. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Argillières 1er Cru comes from Rion’s largest parcel of 1.8 hectares, currently undergoing piecemeal replanting using a massal selection program. This has a fragrant bouquet of red berry fruit, loamy earth and discreet woodland scents that unfold with each swirl of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins. This feels very harmonious, a little opulent in style toward the finish, but deftly kept in check by the tertiary notes from the whole bunches. Quite peppery on the aftertaste. Excellent.
