Tasting notes
(just 18 hectoliters per hectare produced, due to coulure and botrytis): Bright medium red. Reduced, slightly rustic aromas of tart red berries, leather, fresh herbs and licorice. Sappy and pure if a bit youthfully brutal today, with a crunchy quality to the pomegranate and cranberry flavors. This fruit was picked at 11% and chaptalized to 12.5%, according to Rouget.

Taken from a new barrel, the 2013 Nuits Saint Georges Villages has a confit-like bouquet with raspberry jam and kirsch, mineral scents just behind. The palate is medium-bodied, quite fleshy in the mouth with supple tannins. The fruit spectrum edges closer to black on the finish that has more persistence than the Vosne-Romanée Village at this stage. This should be afforded two or three years in bottle.
