Tasting notes
The lively aromas of the 2002 Nuits-St.-Georges Vigneronde are reminiscent of a blend of red fruit paste and flowers. Lush, oily textured, and forward, it is an ample, medium-bodied, soft, fruit-driven effort. Projected maturity: now-2012. Note: This estate’s 2002s are not yet released. The above estimate is based on the prices of the 2001s, taking into account that the dollar has significantly dropped. Importers include: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel.

Red-ruby. Superripe plum and chocolate aromas verging on roasted. Fat, plump and uncommonly sweet, with mineral and chocolate flavors. Big, rich, round wine with considerable early appeal.
