Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Les Corvées Pagets” Reviews

Best Buy. An ornate, red-fruikted Nuits, this starts out with the dark, barrel spice of oak and brightens into layers of fruit and earthy scents in the finish. Juicy, tight and youhtfully blunt, this will gain from several years in the cellar.

An intensely floral and ultra-fresh nose features notes of cool red berries, earth and discreet spice notes. There is more earth and a hint of the sauvage to the humus-inflected, vibrant and attractively textured middle weight flavors that culminate in a moderately austere finish that delivers excellent intensity and very fine persistence. There is a touch of wood that also surfaces but this should be rapidly absorbed.
