Nuits St Georges Lavieres 2017

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Lavières has an intriguing bouquet that takes time to open in the glass, offering fruit that is a little darker and earthier than the Les Charmois. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannin and lifted acidity, and quite sharp and pointed. A surfeit of citrus-like freshness emerges toward the lively finish, and hints of Moroccan spice appear on the aftertaste. This is a sensual and utterly seductive wine in the making.

Score: 91 - 93
