Tasting notes
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos Saint-Marc 1er Cru feels a little gawky at first and takes time to coalesce in the glass. More whole bunch here, though it is in proportion to the fruit concentration. It never really develops in the glass. The palate is coarse on the entry, rigid with bitter red fruit. It just needs more flesh on the finish, which has a slightly acrid note. Not sure about this but instinct tells me that it just requires time to knit together. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Deep-mid ruby. Sweet red cherries on the nose, raspberry and cassis. Substance but not meaty. Suave and full on the palate, with growing tannins on the finish. Seems very classic Nuits Premier Cru. Freshness and minerality on the finish, with great length. Keeps moving. (MH)
