Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Forêts Saint Georges 1er Cru comprises 30% whole bunch and 35% new oak. It has the best bouquet from the domaine this year, delivering gorgeous red fruits laced with violet that burst from the glass, quite Vosne-like in style. The palate is succulent but structured on the entry, presenting a perfect line of acidity, while beautifully integrated oak lends a seamless texture. Very persistent and satiny on the finish.

Reserved on the nose and even a bit obstinate on the palate, this will need time to come around. The structure is lovely with pulsating tension surrounding the robust, black fruit core. There's a woodsy, spicy undertow here, too, from the generous new oak. These oldest vines here are about 65 years old and the youngest are about 30, so the resolute concentration is no surprise. 2024-32Inc. GSTSG$184.47 -

The stems provide another dimension without dominating the wine's fruits and flowers. A spectacular example of 2015, not yet fleshy but very dense and seductively sweet.

The 2018 Beaune Coucherias 1er Cru maybe does not quite possess the delineation of the Clos du Dessus despite being a Premier Cru. It does evolve with aeration to offer brambly red fruit, freshly tilled earth and crushed stone. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins, fleshy and nicely focused. A touch of hickory appears toward the finish. Very fine, though I like the Marconnets just as much.In BondSG$525.00
