The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Roncières has a svelte, candied bouquet with ripe black cherries mixed with orange blossom and minerals, floral scents emerging with aeration. The palate is silky smooth on the entry with more black fruit than red. There are fine tannins here, very pure and caressing in the mouth, maintaining fine precision on the slightly chalky textured finish. One of Etienne's more reserved 2014s, but still enticing.
A well-layered and appealingly fresh combination features various red berries, floral, earth and sauvage hints. There is fine richness to the lively, intense and mineral-driven medium weight flavors that exhibit a distinct salinity on the beautifully complex, well-balanced and firm finale. Good stuff.
