Michel Gros, Nuits Saint Georges Chaliots other_regions A smoky and beautifully layered

A smoky and beautifully layered nose is composed of notably ripe yellow fruit

intense and pure middle weight flavors that exhibit fine detail on the mineral-inflected

There is less color in this 2011 (I popped a bottle of the 2010 for comparison) and more notes reminiscent of Cabernet Franc (Alejandro Vigil harvested even earlier in 2010)

(Magnum) -- Antonio Galloni

Michel Gros, Nuits Saint Georges Chaliots other_regions A smoky and beautifully layeredThis is slightly more aromatically elegant with a pretty mix of red and black pinot fruit, warm iron infused earth notes and a hint of minerality that can also be found on the round, detailed and admirably wellbalanced flavors that culminate in a supple, fresh and sweet finish. I very much like this, particularly for its level as there is plenty of personality and a lovely underlying tension. (88 91) 2012+
