Nuits St Georges Fleurieres 2016 Jean-Jacques Confuron

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (89)

The 2013 Nuits Saint Georges les Fleurières, which is also matured in 30% new oak and underwent a protracted malolactic fermentation, has a potent blackberry and raspberry nose. The palate has a vitamin-like purity, fine tannin and a very sleek and seductive finish. This is very composed but again, I would have preferred the new oak to be dialed down a notch.

An almost invisible touch of wood sets off earthy and plummy aromas that slide gracefully into delicious, complex and lightly mineral-inflected flavors that are underpinned by moderately firm tannins on the balanced if somewhat rustic finish. This is very Nuits in basic character and a wine that will need at least a few years of patience.
