Tasted blind at Flint Wines’ 2007/2012 Nuits Saint-Georges tasting in London. The 2012 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Chaignots appears to have improved a great deal since I last tasted it. Here, it offers a detailed and composed bouquet with precise red cherry, cranberry and pomegranate fruit, an underlying mineralité that surfaces with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, precise and poised with a harmonious and pure finish that is a pure delight. Classy and thoughtful winemaking afoot here. Tasted November 2016. - Neal Martin

(BH89-91 points) Strong reduction completely flattens the fruit. There is a lush and distinctly spicy character to the solidly dense medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by phenolically mature tannins on the mildly austere finish that displays fine depth and very good length. Solid quality here.
