Edouard Delaunay Nuits St. Georges 2020
Red | 750 ml | JM 90-93
Dark purple, rich ripe fruit, not yet stabilised after a late malolactic. Definitely on the plummy side but with a fresher feel behind.
was $698 NOW $575

Domaine de Montille Nuits St. Georges Aux Saints-Juliens 2020
Red | 750 ml | JM 92-94
Gorgeous bouquet here! Like all the cuvées there is a firm aspect at the finish, but the fruit is completely a delight and very harmonious with the whole bunch.

Domaine de Montille Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Thorey 2020
Red | 750 ml | Burg 91-93
A more elegant cooler and spicier nose reflects notes of the pretty essence of red currant rose petal and a floral top note. The elegance continues on the palate of the nicely textured and quite punchy flavors that exude evident minerality on the sneaky long and moderately structured finish.
was $930 NOW $795

|
Domaine Faiveley Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes 2020
Red | 750 ml | JM 89-92
Bright, dark, dense purple colour, rich succulent and sumptuous raspberry but happily without coarseness, just exuberance.
was $850 NOW $725
|
|
|
Lucien Le Moine Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains 2020
Red | 750ML | WS 95
Packs abundant mineral, violet and tobacco notes, which chime in as this extends on the fruit-driven aftertaste. There is plenty going on here, yet this feels almost effortless on the palate.
was $1,190 NOW $1,015

Gerard Mugneret Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras 2020
Red | 750ML | JM 91-93
Exceptionally dense black with a purple rim. The oak shows a little on the nose. Inky black fruit, quite firm tannins, a limestone thread keeps the energy going..
was $2,390 NOW $2,035

Jacques Frederic Mugnier Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Marechale Rouge 2005
Red | 750ML | JM 94
Fine dark red colour. Immediately powerful, high class nose, not leathery but showing that the wine is going to be intense and strict. Very rich fruit, extremely powerful, light superficial evolution but so intensely youthful underneath. This vintage combines the great and the good.
was $3,090 NOW $2,530

Arnoux Lachaux Nuits St. Georges Les Poisets 2017
Red | 750 ml | JM 92
The most depth of colour to date. This has a gorgeous nose, supple smooth ripe plums, with some lifted redder fruit, considerable density, and a sweetness to the fruit.
was $3,980 NOW $3,385

|
|
Prieure Roch Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos des Corvees 2020
Red | 750 ml
Smell of new oak, then evolves toward plasticky polish. Pure primary fruit with a ton of spice and super tannic finish.
