Nuits St Georges Roncieres 1er Cru 2014

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Grivot's 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Roncières has a clean, quite pure bouquet with cranberry, bergamot and wild hedgerow aromas, developing rose petal/pressed flower scents with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine line of acidity, fleshy and rounded with a caressing, poised finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. It will benefit from another couple of years in bottle. The kind of wine that you will need to have a second bottle in reserve. Tasted September 2017.

Score: 93
