Community Tasting Note

• NostraBacchus Likes this wine: 93 points

  April 23, 2017 - Medium darker ruby color. Pretty expressive notes of dark red cherries, also some plum, minerality, dark soil, also some mushroom and underwood, licorice, menthol, some spices, also some tobacco and cedar wood. Pretty dark toned for a Les Saint-Georges. It's medium-full bodied, with medium+ acidity providing excellent freshness and medium+ tannin that is more integrated than about 3 years ago when I tasted the last bottle. Very good length. A beautiful combination of darker St-Georges style, freshness and the first tertiary notes are starting to show up too. If you like your Burgundy on the younger side (like I do) then this is at the beginning of the drinking window. Not on the same level as e.g. Chevillon or Gouges but still very good.

  4/25/17, 12:59 PM - I always think of chevillon as Not too exciting
  Then I try them in a lineup against other nuits and they're always the winners. That said, I think Elodie makes just as good of wines as the gouges domaine and has since 06 or so.
