I love this vintage and what it offers for pre global warming, traditional Burgundy style and flavor profile. A lovely balancing touch of herbaceousness offers another dimension of complexity.

Intense nose, findings with every sip. Sorrel, juicy rasperry and strawberry, some slate, smoke and meat. Long and well structured, not showing its age. BoW 18.5/20

(Mugneret Dr Georges Nuits St.Georges Les Chaignots) Darker than the Gevrey that preceded it, and a shade lighter than the Vosne that preceded that. The nose is deep and dark, initially just a little monolithic, slowly it gives a peek of black cherry, cream, and faint coffee mixed with smoke. Seems to fill the mouth and has a super intensity to the mid-palate. Powerful and mouthwatering this shows a higher level of tannin than the Gevrey and it’s perceptibly grainier too - though certainly not misbehaved - it’s very well covered. The finish is longer with an edge of cream to the fine burst fruit. A super NSG.

Some Wine Tasted at the Acker La Paulée Auction (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Tasted at auction. Good enough volume, but slightly bitter in the manner of the vintage, even without anything noticeably green.
