Tasting notes
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru has a Grenache-like bouquet, with hints of dried blood and leather coming through with aeration. It lacks a bit of Pinoté. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannins. There's a layer of new oak here, and it smothers the terroir expression on the finish that, like others in this flight, shows a bit of warmth at the back of the throat. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Deep and seamless, the 2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles mingles aromas of cherry and berry fruit with hints of rose petals, orange rind, sweet spices and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, suave and velvety, with terrific concentration, fine tannins and lively acids, it's the most elegant wine in the range.
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru offers more red fruit on the nose, again, just a little prune-like perhaps, a touch confit-like at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with a patina of new oak on the entry, moderate depth, quite smooth with some wood tannins on the finish that will need 5-6 years to be fully subsumed. Give this time.
