California raisin and dried flower emerging

This is a decidedly mid-weight

there is not much produced

resonant and slightly mordant finish

Once again the wood treatment is generous to the point of masking the nuance of the very earthy liqueur-like aromas of plum

Domaine Faiveley, Nuits Saint Georges Chaignots other_regions California raisin and dried flowerA wonderfully spicy and solidly complex nose offers up aromas of both red and dark currant aromas that evidence a touch of the sauvage, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is good richness but also good delineation to the delicious and lightly mineral inflected flavors that possess a mouth coating finish. This well balanced effort is very Nuits in basic character but with no overt rusticity. (89 92) 2021+
