Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 92-94
“The 2016 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles has a sense of completeness and harmony on the nose that is utterly engaging. This is so pure and focused, a mixture of red and black fruit interlaced by cold stone, almost slate-like scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy black fruit, more masculine that the nose suggests with good grip on the almost stern finish. But there is a lot of fruit packed into this Les Cailles, and it will reward those with the wherewithal to cellar for 5 or 6 years.”
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2045
Vinous 94
The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru has a very classy and well defined bouquet with pure black cherries, raspberry and light mineral aromas that unfurl from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, very focused with lovely grip and poised, slightly gritty in texture towards the finish but it boasts impressive length. Superb. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2045
