NUITS-ST-GEORGES 1ER CRU LES SAINT GEORGES 2018

Gorgeous dark, purplish red in colour. The first nose features expressive, intense aromas underpinned by airy freshness and notes of brambles and wild rose followed by scents of spices (thyme, clove…), cedar, tobacco, and liquorice infused with violet. Then come hints of mint and pine that open up to aromas of red and black fruit (blackberry, blackcurrant jellies, raspberry liqueur).

The nose finishes with warm notes of baked goods and lightly caramelized clafoutis. Lovely round, mouth-filling start to the palate testifies to outstanding maturity, revealing powerful yet fine, elegant tannins. Pleasing acidity is evocative of the stony, mineral profile that is typical of this magnificent terroir. This is an intense, expressive wine that is ideal for laying down.
