Nuits Saint Georges 2023The Nuits Saint Georges 2023 shows a medium deep ruby colour, luminous and slightly darker than many Cte de Nuits villages. The nose is structured and expressive, opening with dark cherry, plum, and blackberry, supported by violet, dark rose, and subtle herbal notes from whole bunch fermentation. Beneath the fruit lies a strong mineral core of iron, graphite, and wet stone, with additional savoury layers of earth, truffle, and cured meat. On the

enjoyable Gevrey-Chambertin village wine with early drinking appeal

It is a very impressive follow-up to the 2015 Pavie and may surpass it once in bottle

Mourvèdre 10%

There is plenty of pepper character to the fresh

in fact so much so that the nose is positively discreet at this point though vigorous swirling finally coaxes a complex

and wild iris rise above the fruit

complemented by subtle spice notes and an earthy complexity characteristic of Gevrey Chambertin

It is one of the Domaine's most sumptuously structured wines

Made from old vines of different varieties growing together

Robert Parker: 94/100

The warmth of 2022 has produced beautiful ripeness and concentration

Rapet's holdings on the Corton hill are particularly well-situated
