Tasted blind at Flint Wines’ 2007/2012 Nuits Saint-Georges tasting in London. The 2012 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots has ripe cherry and cranberry scents on the nose, earthy and rustic in character, later on finding scents of woodbine and undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied, simple and straightforward, balanced and yet lacking real complexity and nuance on the finish. Adequate, but nothing special compared to more recent vintages. Tasted November 2016.
