The 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges (Maison Louis Jadot) offers up aromas of ripe plums and berry fruit that mingle with nuances of black truffle spices, loamy soil and dried flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with a gourmand core of fruit that cloaks its ripe tannins, ending with a long, pure finish. This is one of the definite successes in the Maison range this year.
A concentrated but rather closed wine with serious structure and plenty of earthy character that will need some time for the tannins to harmonize and for the fruit to open up.
