2020 Dominique Laurent N-St-G 1er Cru Les Poulettes Vieilles Vignes
France / Burgundy / Cote de Nuits / Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Rouge
In 2020, Dominique Laurent crafted a truly authentic Nuit-Saint-Georges wine with sumptuous richness and intensity: 1er Cru Les Poulettes Vieilles Vignes.
Its deep, dark ruby color and gourmet bouquet reveal aromas of cherries, raspberries, and strawberries, almost transforming into a coulis of red berries. Floral notes of peony and rose mingle with scents of camphor, cedar, pine, and a hint of beeswax.
The flavor is unusually concentrated, yet the acidity provides perfect balance, and the gradually softening tannins envelop the aromas. In the finish, aromatic hints of dark chocolate emerge.
The wine is now beautifully drinkable, but a few more years in the cellar will only enhance its experience.
The 1er Cru vineyard Les Poulettes lies at the top of the southern part of Nuit-Saint-Georges.
