Tasting notes
The medium-to-dark-colored Nuits-St.-Georges Les Vaucrains offers tightly wound aromas of minerals and spice, an oily-texture and gorgeous, concentrated layers of ripe and spicy cherries and wild berries, a medium-to-full body and good length. It will be at its best between 2001-2007. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided. Importer: Neal Rosenthal, Select Vineyards, Shekomeko, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990.
