NUITS SAINT GEORGES 1ER CRU LES MURGERS 2017 91 W&S Apr20

From a 2.5-acre mid-slope parcel….What seems salty and leathery turns rich and elemental, a silky Nuits perfumed with the sandalwood spice of new oak (it aged 18 months in barrels, half new). Juicy mulberry and cranberry flavors develop, suggesting the depth of fruit that will emerge with bottle age. – T.T.
