The 2012 Nuits St. Georges Clos de Marechale Blanc has a pretty bouquet with plenty of tropical scents that are nicely controlled, with hints of lemon curd and dried pineapple joining the fray with aeration. The palate is well-balanced with a spicy, almost resinous entry that is reminiscent of a southern Rhone in some ways. The light honeyed tones are attractive, while the finish is controlled and expresses the minerality with style. Jacques-Frederic usually produces around 150 barrels of red Clos de Marechale, but a hailstorm on July 4 depleted the crop to just 66 barrels.
