Nuits Saint Georges Au Bas de Combe 2016 Mugneret-Gibourg

Professionele reviews

BOW (8)

Vinous (90)

Bright red-ruby. Distinctly Vosne-like aromas of blackberry, blueberry and licorice. Then surprisingly supple, sweet and open-knit in the mouth, with its dark berry and licorice flavors conveying good but not exceptional concentration. The tannins are firm but not hard, with the finish displaying good saline persistence.

Burghound (90)

Discreet wood influence easily allows the ripe and fresh aromas of plum, black raspberry, spice and earth nuances to shine. The dense, concentrated and attractively textured and vibrant middle weight flavors possess evident power on the rustic, serious and strikingly long finish. This is a first-rate Nuits villages but one that is going to require some forbearance as it's quite firmly structured.
