Red Wine from Nuits St Georges

Wine Spectator, 94 points: A touch of gaminess in the aroma gives way to blackberry, black cherry, earth and iron flavors in this rich, solidly structured red. Vibrant and balanced, though this needs a little time to integrate. Terrific length...

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...

Vinous, 94 points: (ST91-94 points) Good medium red. Refined aromas of boysenberry, black cherry, minerals and violet. Subtle, suave and fine-grained, with dark berry and pungent mineral flavors coming across as utterly seamless yet...

Burghound, 93 points: (BH90-93 points) An expressive nose combines both wood and natural spice elements that add considerable interest to the notably ripe nose cassis, plum and violets. There is excellent richness, size and weight to the very...

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: (BH90-93 points) There is a relatively discreet touch of wood discernable on the otherwise strongly reduced nose. There is a spicy inner mouth perfume to the robust and mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that exhibit...

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, 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, 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...

Vinous, 92 points: (AG90-92 points) The darker, richer side of Nuits comes through in the 2011 Nuits St. Georges Roncières. Fleshy, dark, and voluptuous, the 2011 is layered with dark cherries, spices, menthol and pine. There is a level of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2014 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru was deeply impressive when I tasted it from barrel and now in bottle, it is fulfilling my expectations. It demonstrated superb mineralité and tension on the nose. Good focus and detail with...

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...

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: (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...
