Nuits-Saint-Georges

Philippe Pacalet, Nuits Saint Georges 2011

By Steen Öhman July 16, 2012 -

The Nuits-Saint-Georges village is a step up in concentration. In the nose lovely sweet pinot fruit, with notes of strawberries and raspberries - spiced up with cinnamon and a hint of allspice. On the palate more lush than the Chambolle village, but also less refined and transparant. The NSG village …

This vineyard has a very fine minerality - and Frederic Cossard made some very interesting wines …

By Steen Öhman June 9, 2012 -

The Nuits 1er cru V.V. is a quite big step up from Nuits "1". The Nuits 1er 2009 is more accessible than the "1", with less reduction. In the nose fine delicate red and dark cherries, cherry stones - spiced with cinnamon and allspice. On the palate more weight and layers of fruit, not a heavy wine …
