Tasting notes
Tasted blind at Flint Wines’ 2007/2012 Nuits Saint-Georges tasting in London. The 2012 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers has a fleshy, open-knit and quite generous bouquet, hints of leather and game infusing the red fruit, perhaps even just a touch of reduction that soon disappears. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, ripe, quite sweet, candied red cherry and strawberry, perhaps even with some new oak still to be fully subsumed. Chevillon in style, it has pleasing depth and impressive length, a Nuits Saint Georges for those who like their Pinots to pack a fruity punch without denuding it of terroir expression. Superb. Tasted November 2016.

Tasted blind. Limpid crimson. Not very expressive aromatically but with some real drive and energy. Very Vosne! Positively flies out of the glass. Racy and rewarding. Very vibrant, even delicate though there is a rich undertow. (JR)
Sweet oak spice over the fruit at the moment. Rather austere in the middle but comes round at the end. Less charm than some in 2012. (JH)
(this and all of the following wines are domain bottlings; 13% natural alcohol): Bright medium red. Aromas of raspberry and flowers come across as riper than most of the negociant wines. Sweet and supple on the palate, with a lovely fine-grained texture and noteworthy precision and length. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins. The pH of 3.6 is rather high for this wine but the finish nonetheless shows very good lift.
