The 2014 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru les Chênes-Carteaux was taken from vat and was showing a little reduction on the nose. The palate is a little gritty in texture on the entry with a keen line of acidity, darker fruit here than the Chaignots with a prickle of spice towards the structured, foursquare finish. A bit "grumpy" at the moment, tasting this wine from barrel was like waking a sleeping cat. I would afford this 3-4 years in bottle.
