Tasting notes
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Grandes-Vignes Blanc 1er Cru is well-defined and focused on the nose, with scents of hazelnut infusing the citrus fruit, pressed flowers, broom and freshly-baked popcorn. The palate is slightly honeyed on the entry, perhaps with a touch of botrytised fruit? The 2019 shows good acidity and is overtly spicy toward the finish. This Meursault has fine substance despite a shortfall in terms of mineralité and tension on the finish. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Notes of pear, almond paste, orange oil and white flowers introduce the 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Grandes Vignes Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy wine that's open and giving, with a generous core of fruit and a long, subtly heady finish.
