This is rich, sweet and just a little farmyardy but with oodles of perfume, texture and plush, smooth, palate-coating fruit. It’s a Les St-Georges to drink and enjoy comparatively young. There’s some tannin and acidity here, but it’s the sweet berry fruit that predominates.

Varietal Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint Georges 1er Cru has a straightforward bouquet of red cherries plus a touch of balsamic, showing fine delineation and intensity. It opens and deepens nicely in the glass, though it requires time to absorb the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and fine acidity, and quite saline and stocky on the broad-shouldered, almost Morey-like finish. Though a tad brutish at the moment, this should improve in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

The nose was definitely reduced and a decanter was brought to the table to more throughly aerate the wine. This helped but even 30 minutes later the reduction lurked in the background though not so much as to completely mask the ripe aromas of various red berries and earth. This is still pretty tightly wound on the palate of the medium-bodied flavors that possess solid precision and evident minerality on the lingering if slightly austere finale. The reduction will probably lift in time though at present, this is somewhat youthfully awkward and I would suggest not touching another bottle until at least age 10 to 12.
