Tasted blind at Flint Wines’ 2007/2012 Nuits Saint-Georges tasting in London. The 2007 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots from Mugneret-Gibourg has a perfumed bouquet with dark cherry and blackcurrant aromas, a little high toned as this cuvée can be and yet it remains nicely focused. The palate is chewy on the entry and this suggests that it may have undergone more extraction than usual. The fruit is as much black as red, proffering pastille-like notes towards the finish that at least has retained more freshness than its peers. Tasted November 2016.
