Tasting notes
The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Didiers 1er Cru from the Hospices de Nuits offers precocious red cherries, blueberry and cassis fruit on the nose, violets emerging with time. The palate is oaky on the entry, perhaps overwhelming the fruit at the moment, but conveys good depth. The finish is dominated by wood tannins. Difficult to read at the moment, but Laurent Lignier transfers this into used wood, so by the time of bottling it should be better balanced.

The latest iteration of a cuvée that Lignier regularly purchases, the 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Didiers (Hospice de Nuits) displays notes of cherries, cassis, grilled game, dark chocolate and toasty new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, rich and layered, with fine tannins and good length on the finish. Lignier racks the wine out of the Hospices' barrels and into used cooperage of his own as soon as it's delivered to his winery.
