Burghound, January 2024

(92-94 points) A more deeply pitched nose somewhat grudgingly reveals aromas of red and dark pinot fruit, plum, violet and a touch of newly turned earth. There is more volume, power and mid-palate density to the tautly...

Vinous, January 2024

From vines 80 to 90 years old, the 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Cras 1er Cru has a focused bouquet with black cherries, wild strawberry and rose petal scents, just a touch of garrigues. The palate is medium-bodied with...

(90-93 points) The holding is in the upper part of the vineyard where there is less clay, though this is still the darkest coloured wine in the cellar. The 2022 is particularly backward, with a concentrated fresh dark...

The 2022 Domaine Clavelier Bruno Nuits St Georges Aux Cras is a striking example of Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France. This red wine, produced by Domaine Bruno Clavelier, hails from the esteemed Nuits St Georges sub-region, known for its robust and complex wines. The wine is crafted from vines aged 80 to 90 years, which contribute to its depth and character.

Vinous awarded this wine a score of 94, highlighting its "focused bouquet" of black cherries, wild strawberry, and rose petal scents. The tasting note also mentions the presence of "supple tannins" and "fine grip," culminating in a "persistent finish," suggesting that this wine is "very well crafted."

Jasper Morris, writing for Inside Burgundy, gave the wine a score range of 90-93 points. He notes that the wine is "particularly backward" with concentrated fresh dark cherry fruit, supported by both tannins and higher acidity. Describing it as having "good grip," Morris suggests that this wine is "one for the longer term," indicating its potential for aging.

Burghound also rated the wine at 94 points, with tasting notes describing a "more deeply pitched nose" revealing aromas of red and dark pinot fruit, plum, violet, and a hint of newly turned earth. The review emphasizes the wine's "volume, power and mid-palate density," and the "chalky and overtly austere finale." Burghound's use of vivid imagery, likening the mineral texture to "licking a rock," underscores the wine's complexity and need for "extended forbearance."

Overall, the 2022 Domaine Clavelier Bruno Nuits St Georges Aux Cras is a wine of notable structure and potential, with reviewers agreeing on its depth and the need for patience to fully appreciate its qualities.
