Tasting notes
Stealing the show, the muscular yet suave 2002 Nuits-St.-Georges Les St.-Georges bursts forth with candied red cherry aromas. This massive wine bastes the palate with suave layers of intensely expressive and ripe blackberries, cassis, jammy black raspberries, and notes of Asian spice. Velvety-textured, dense, and medium to full-bodied, it also displays delightful freshness as well as magnificent length. Projected maturity: 2009-2022. Bravo!

Red-ruby. Knockout nose of black- and redcurrant, framboise, minerals and violet. Wonderfully rich and pliant, with vibrant black fruit and mineral flavors. Offers terrific energy and lift. Highly perfumed on the back, with very fine tannins coating the front teeth. This extremely promising wine combines the power of the Vaucrains and the finesse of the Cailles.
