91 / 100"This too is extremely floral with slightly riper aromas of freshly crushed red berry fruit that give way to supple, round and relatively accessible flavors that are textured, fine, mouth coating and long. There is perhaps a bit less structure here than I'm used to seeing but the tannins are ripe and well-integrated. This should age well over the medium-term."

Tasting Notes
In Burgundy the monopoly (single estate vineyard) defines a unit of land, a terroir which has been perfectly defined for centuries and which is owned by a single proprietor. The Clos des Forêts Saint Georges covers a surface of 7.2 hectares, all in one piece. It is a unique terroir in a privileged location which right from its origin has made one of the greatest Nuits Saint Georges wines. The Clos des Forêts Saint Georges covers the entire geological range of the slopes of Nuits Saint Georges: Ladoix limestone at the bottom, Premeaux limestone in the middle, and white oolite limestone in the upper part, with a marked presence of ochre silt in some places. This Clos is planted entirely to Pinot Noir.
