2023 Jean Grivot Nuits-St-Georges Lavieres

A more complete purple. A mix of plums and red berry fruit, what one would expect. Good tension on the palate, very peppery on the palate which does not distract, just adds an element of interest. Lovely darker cherry note behind. 90-92 points

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Lavieres is understated on the nose, with a mixture of red and black fruit, rose petals and light blueberry scents. This is Vosne-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with finely spun tannins and a touch of cracked black pepper. This is an animated Aux Lavieres that I feel might shade the previous vintage. It`s very fine, very nuanced. 90-92 points
