DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
This tends to be in a relatively soft, approachable style, with plenty of flesh and a soft tannic structure. It had just been racked when we tasted, so tricky to assess, but every year it turns into a brilliant wine for drinking after 5-10 years.
The 2014 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru les Chenes-Carteaux was taken from vat and was showing a little reduction on the nose. The palate is a little gritty in texture on the entry with a keen line of acidity, darker fruit here than the Chaignots with a prickle of spice towards the structured, foursquare finish. A bit ”grumpy” at the moment, tasting this wine from barrel was like waking a sleeping cat. I would afford this 3-4 years in bottle.
Reduced aromas of black cherry, raspberry, mint and menthol. A step up in sweetness and suppleness from the Chaignots; at once more velvety and more facile than that wine. Gouges describes this rather suave wine as the estate’s ”entry-level premier cru of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
