Nuits St. Georges, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, FranceDarker than the Girardin Vignes Franches, richer also with ripe attack,
this had stunning dark fruit, soft tannins, dark spice notes, cherry
puree, perfect 1er cru stature, very nice, if not as elegant as the
Girardin or as silky and pedigreed as the de Montille. Located in
Premeaux at the far south end of the NSG AOC, the richer soils do indeed
impart a darker, richer style. Still had another 5-10 years ahead of it
as did the other Burgs. Pleasantly surprised.
