The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Terres Blanches has a crisp but somehow, slightly static bouquet. It just needs to show more “flow.” The palate is better than the nose with grapefruit, lime and a touch of mango coming through. There is certainly decent weight here, tropical tones towards the finish with a dash of spice on the aftertaste.

Here the nose is equally cool and pure with its appealing array of lemon peel, acacia blossom and once again discreet wood nuances. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the vibrant and intensely mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess a refreshing and persistent finale. This isn't especially refined but it is certainly pretty. Worth checking out.
