From vines situated to the north of Nuits and the south of Vosne – frontier country. Cask sample.
Mid ruby. Quite ripe red cherries on the nose and deeper, richer fruit on the palate than the Vosne-Romanée. Assured personality and depth. Medium-bodied with elegant, fresh acidity. A touch of more apparent tannins than the village Vosne, but in no way hard or brutal. (MH)

The 2023 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Lavières is understated on the nose, with a mixture of red and black fruit, rose petals and light blueberry scents. This is Vosne-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied and lightly spiced with finely spun tannins and a touch of cracked black pepper. This is an animated Aux Lavières that I feel might shade the previous vintage. It's very fine, very nuanced.

A spicy and earthy dark berry fruit nose is both cool and airy. The medium-bodied flavors possess a similar mouthfeel, which is to say vibrant and rich, while displaying equally good length on the youthfully austere bitter pit fruit-inflected finale that is just a bit firmer. This too is worth a look.

A more complete purple. A mix of plums and red berry fruit, what one would expect. Good tension on the palate, very peppery on the palate which does not distract, just adds an element of interest. Lovely darker cherry note behind.
