Tasting notes
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de la Maréchale 1er Cru has a simple nose with brambly red fruit, briar and a discreet marine influence in the background. Nuanced but nicely focused with assiduous use of oak. The palate is well balanced with more saturated pliable tannins than its peers. A tad more extraction is evident towards the finish with dark fruit and a relatively polished mouthfeel. Give this two or three years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos de la Maréchale 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet: a mixture of red and black fruit and a touch of aniseed. The palate is well-balanced with gentle grip, powdery in texture, and slightly bitter towards the finish that needs a little more cohesion.
The 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale is more overtly structured from bottle than I perceived from barrel, unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, vine smoke and earthy spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, taut and chalky palate that will reward some patience.
