2014 Nuits St Georges Les Vignerondes

Tasting notes
One of the most expressive and demonstrative wines in this range, the 2014 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Vignerondes is quite broad and ample in its feel. Here the flavors are dark, with plenty of blue/purplish overtones. In 2014, the Vignerondes is a wine of real volume and heft. It is also perhaps a touch rustic, but also pleasing in its own way.

The 2014 Nuits St Georges les Vignerondes 1er Cru was a little reduced on the nose, but the palate is very promising with bright red cherry and strawberry fruit, as well as a keen line of acidity. This is a more feminine 2014 with a finessed, beautifully poised finish. Maybe earlier drinking than its peers, yet there is palpable energy here that should see it age for 10 or more years.
