Les Poulettes Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2020

8.9

Presented to me double-blind. The 2020 “Les Poulettes” pours a deep ruby/purple; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of dark brambles, black pepper, purple flowers, earth, leather and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Hmmm…

Initial conclusions: this could be Syrah, Gamay, and GSM blend, a Zinfandel blend, a Tempranillo blend, or Bordeaux-style blend from France, the USA or Spain. But to me, this was giving Northern Rhône vibes so I’m going Syrah, from France, from the Rhône, Saint-Joseph 2020. Wut? Yikes. Not familiar with this producer but Kermit Lynch?! I’m surprised this didn’t show more sense of place. Drink now if you want to melt your mind. — 2 days ago

They had a really good HCDN I remember and there’s some gimmick about them. Some DRC thing maybe?

@Lyle Fass apparently, he was brought to the attention of Kermit’s team through Aubert de Villaine. The Master Somm in our Tasting Group called it Barbera! Nobody in the group called Pinot Noir.

A beautifully pure 2015. Plenty of rich red fruit and sooo smooth. Gonna be hard to lay this vintage down the way it's drinking. — 9 years ago
