Dominique Laurent La Richemone, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, France

點擊次數：3202

Harvested at 13% natural sugar levels (almost unheard of in Burgundy!), the dark-ruby-colored Nuits-St.-Georges La Richemone displays hugely concentrated, ripe red and black fruit aromas with a touch of volatile acidity and a sublimely sweet and lively, deep cherry and currant flavor profile. This is a delicious, medium-to-full bodied, polished, feminine-styled Nuits. It will be at its peak between 2001-2008. The wine displayed a level of volatile acidity which can be controlled using proper cellaring techniques prior to bottling.This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.A Patrick Lesec Selection (Paris Fax # 011-33-1-42-84-38-22), various American importers.
