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...

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...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Highly perfumed, boasting violet, cherry, black currant and mineral aromas and flavors, with fine length. Opulent and packed with sweet fruit, yet harmonious and elegant for the appellation. Drink now through 2016. 210...

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...

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, 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...

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...

Burghound, 94 points: (BH92-94 points) A more elegant and more expressive nose evidences distinctly floral notes to the spicy red and dark currant aromas that possess excellent complexity. I very much like the silky texture of the...

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, 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...

Burghound, 93 points: (90-93) Mild reduction masks the underlying fruit but not the pretty floral elements. I very much like the mouthfeel of the energetic and intensely mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess fine volume while...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Boudots has a sophisticated, well-defined, expressive bouquet with red plum, redcurrant and raspberry fruit, nicely integrated oak...

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, 91 points: (87-91) This is the first wine to display overt wood influence and here it includes plenty of menthol that fights somewhat with the spiced aromas of earth, dark currant and a hint of game. There is excellent size, weight...
