Tasting notes
Distinct soil and mineral inflections give the Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Lavières much of its distinctive personality. A touch austere and compact today, the Lavières possesses superb energy that drives the red stone fruit, graphite, smoke and scorched earth flavors. There is more than enough freshness and verve to support many years of fine drinking.

The 2014 Nuits St Georges les Lavieres has bright raspberry and cranberry fruit on the nose, more stoniness coming through compared to the Aux Allots. The palate is very refined, supple in the mouth, fleshing out nicely towards the finish with hints of brown spice and tart red cherries lining the appealing finish. Just lovely.
