Le 'grand cru' de Nuits - if they re-classified.‘For the centenary of the domaine in 2019 we used the old label of the domaine and now we have decided to keep it.’Still a fair length of barrel elevage to come. Dense crimson colour, plenty of oak but a massive fruit weight to match. So different ...

A fine even bright deep ruby purple. Immediate classy on the nose from this great terroir. Not hugely open, but very fine, and this continues on the palate. A sense of refinement despite the level of energy, with the fruit on the perfect cusp between red and black. You can feel the mother rock close...

Rich purple. Very oaky on the nose, but note that this is still in wood, unracked. Sample taken from all barrels. Sturdy stuff, very Nuits-St-Georges with plums and a little suggestion of a peachier aspect, gourmand and juicy, yet with a fine clean structure at the back. I like this more and more as...

3.57 ha Monopole with 30 year old vines.Racked to tank in October, to bottle in December. Deep purple. The bouquet is certainly a rich expression of pinot fruit without being over-ripe. Very full on the palate yet with energy through adequate acidity. Excellent balance and persistence. A fresh class...

A small 1er cru tucked in beside Vaucrains and above Les Saint Georges. Gouges have 1 ha of roughly 80-year-old vines. Well drained and steep soil that works very well in warmer vintages.An attractive vibrant purple. The bouquet is floral and juicy at the same time, much more accessible than in the ...

From their only vineyard on the Vosne-Romanée side of Nuits - which sits above Aux Murgers.Bottled in July. A bright ruby purple. The bouquet has a fine ripeness to the fruit, less heady than Chaines Carteaux. From a bright fresh red fruit at the front of the palate to something a little richer and...

From the fruit of 5 climats: Plateaux, Belles Croix, Fleurières, Brûlées, and Chaliots. Mostly on the Premeaux side at the bottom of the hills.Bright mid purple. A heady ripe nose, tastes like a sunnier year despite not picking late and keeping a sensible degree. Plenty of energy on the palate, f...

From their only vineyard on the Vosne-Romanée side of Nuits - which sits above Aux Murgers.Medium deep crimson colour. The nose shows an assured ripeness of red berry fruit, supported by a little new oak (20%). Very pretty and quite floral on the nose, yet much more solid red fruit weight on the pa...

Village level - but all from the Plateaux vineyard that sits on the same mid-slope (just north) as 1ers crus Les Pruliers and Les Procès.Opposite the wineries of Gouges and Boisset. Hmm - high toned - lots of oak again today but also there's a very lovely clarity of fine red fruit - that's a great ...

Cropped at just 14hl/ha, the 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru easily has the best bouquet from Gouge's reds with a mixture of red and black fruit, sous-bois, pressed roses and just a smudge of liquorice. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins, a fine-boned structure wit...

Village level - but all from the Plateaux vineyard that sits on the same mid-slope (just north) as 1ers crus Les Pruliers and Les Procès.

Typically refined and well-structured with a pure-fruit nose and perfectly balanced acidity from this top wine-maker.

From the fruit of 5 climats: Plateaux, Belles Croix, Fleurières, Brûlées, and Chaliots.A fine bright crimson, with a lively red fruit, strawberry and raspberry together. Good intensity, higher acidity than the Bourgogne, which helps to deliver an attractive crunch to the finish. Medium plus lengt...

A fine mid purple colour. The fruit is ripe but with admirable freshness, and a notable slice of new oak on the palate (30% used). The finish is particularly crystalline, representing the fact that the rock is much nearer the surface here than Pruliers or Les St-Georges. A properly vibrant Vaucrains...

3.57 ha monopole with 30 year old vines.Bottled yesterday! A vibrant fresh mid purple. Lots of energy too on the nose. Perhaps seems a little richer after yesterday’s bottling, which may have slightly muddied the waters - but this is clearly a good wine with plenty of dark red fruit and a good thr...

Being bottled today. A slightly darker colour here. There’s a good weight of a darker red berry fruit with a slight mentholated touch. The structure is more like a classical central Nuits-St-Georges, with both firmer tannins and a sound thread of acidity. The fruit continues very nicely behind. 91...

This attractive wine is a bit closed initially on the nose and then opens with a lovely, ripe raspberry and plum fruit and notes of earth and spice on the palate. The texture is elegant, with firm tannins, moderate extract, and impressive length, especially at this level. The wine is made from a 1.2...

The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgey 1er Cru, containing 80% whole bunches, has a refined bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry fruit laced with clove and light tea leaf aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. It is quite strict and linear, with fine depth, perhaps requiring a ...

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Damodes 1er Cru contains 60% whole bunches this year. There is more mineralité on the nose compared to the Clos des Thorey, with pressed rose petals that infuse the lifted red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fine tension and ample poise. This...

Oddly enough more of a red crimson colour, lighter than most of the Moreys. 90% whole bunches. A little oak and some lighter fresh red berries on the nose, showing the elegance of this Vosne side vineyard. I am struck this year by how different is the Murgers in style compared to the other Lignier-M...
