Joseph Drouhin, Nuits Saint Georges Proces

Joseph Drouhin, Nuits Saint Georges Proces(from a . 40 ha parcel). A whiff of the sauvage adds breadth to the red and dark cherryinfused aromas that are trimmed in a background note of wood toast. There is a lovely sense of energy and delineation to the focused and sappy medium bodied flavors that deliver first rate length on the overtly austere and moderately rustic finish. This is very Nuits in style and is going to require extended cellaring to soften the firm tannins but it should more

Hints of matchstick character and petrol add breadth to the white peach and citrus confit scented nose

almost airy wood spice combines with elegant and quite refined green fruit and an interesting roasted nut quality

This is a very fine Gevrey villages and absolutely worth a look

The richness really comes through on the finish

highly perfumed with crushed violets infusing the blackberry and crushed strawberry scented

Clear and mineral on the palate

The contours are more modern and the fruit leans towards the darker end of spectrum

with a perfect fruit profile and orange oil character

While the tannins will undoubtedly soften with time in bottle

it seems a bit light but the focus and intensity are such that I believe this will prove to be much more impressive than present appearances suggest

It's still very young and tight

all framed by impeccably silky tannins
