Robert Parker (89)

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Plateaux is one of the more reserved wines in the range, opening up with aromas of ripe berries, spices, licorice and soil. Medium to full-bodied, firm and muscular, it's undeniably powerful, and more than a little introverted at this youthful stage.

Winespectator (89)

Once again there is a lot of wood influence infusing the fresh and very ripe aromas of cassis, black cherry and similar soft earth wisps. There is better volume and mid-palate density to the relatively sleek and appealingly textured flavors that flash only a trace of rusticity on the youthfully austere, complex and sneaky long finish. The wood isn't shy but this is a very good wine.

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

Sweet oak spice and a gobful of mouth-filling, ripe black-cherry fruit. Firmly tannic but not unapproachable thanks to refreshing acidity and that upfront primary fruit. Precocious and impressive. (RH)

BOW (8.25)

The area under production for this wine is 69 hecatare. The soil is argillocalcareous from middle jurassic with faults. It is 100 % pinot noir wine, the average age of vines is 45 years.
Harvesting is done by hand and grapes are hand-sorted in the winery. Maturing is done on 30 to 40 % new oak barrels.
