Mongeard-Mugneret Hautes Cotes de Nuits Les Dames Huguettes 2016

Wonderful Pinot Noir from this well respected Burgundian producer. Great depth and fleshiness.

The Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has a very perfumed, floral bouquet with scents of crushed flower and chalk permeating the red cherry and strawberry fruit. There is a little more horsepower here compared to the  if not quite the same delineation.

The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, tightening up in the middle to form a more sinewy, backward finish indicative of a vintage that is generally beginning to close up. Give this several years to really come around.
