Red Wine from Nuits St Georges

Vinous, 93 points: (VN 90-93 points) Deep ruby-red. Much more reticent on the nose than the Murgers, showing more stem-influenced herbs and shoe polish than primary fruit in the early going. Then intense, penetrating and quite backward on...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Roncières comes from a hectare of 52-year-old vines planted on limestone-rich soils. It has a comparatively ripe bouquet with "fleshy" red cherries, tinned apricot...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Grivot's 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Roncières has a clean, quite pure bouquet with cranberry, bergamot and wild hedgerow aromas, developing rose petal/pressed flower...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH91-94 points) Pronounced reduction completely dominates the nose. The full-bodied and muscular middle weight plus flavors also possess excellent mid-palate concentration before culminating in a velvety, seductive and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (WA92-94 points) The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Pruliers was much more backward on the nose compared to the 2014 les Roncières when I tasted it at the domaine; this is broody and a bit sulky at the moment. The...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Chaignots comes from 1.55 hectares of 60-year-old vines. It has a well defined, slightly masculine bouquet that requires some encouragement. Darker fruit here than...

Burghound, 91 points: Mild wood mixes with the spicy red currant, rose petal and earth aromas that slide gracefully into the very rich and full-bodied flavors that are tautly muscular and possess impressive volume while culminating in a...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH90-93 points) While not as pretty as the Chaumes this is notably complex with its subtly wooded nose of earth black currant, game, smoke and lovely floral hints. There is markedly better concentration to the delicious...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: (WA92-94 points) The 2013 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru les Roncières could be one of Etienne Grivot's finest offerings. It has a more red fruit spectrum than the Pruliers with red cherries, mint and then later, earthy...

Burghound, 93 points: (WA91-93 points) The expressive nose is compositionally quite similar to that of the Bousselots except that it's just a bit more deeply pitched. The clean, cool and sleek flavors display excellent delineation along with...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: 93+ Since fully 1.5 hectares of vines produced a mere four barrels of wine, it's no surprise that the 2016 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots is preternaturally concentrated, and tasted blind I mistook it for the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: (WA 90-93 points) The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots is superb, bursting with expressive aromas of cherries, violets, bergamot and grilled squab. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety...
