Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There is a sense of everything being in its right place on the nose of Thibault’s Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges: conservative and linear, but well defined and fresh. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins and a fine thread of acidity. Lively and ebullient, focused and taut, this is a lovely, quite sophisticated Nuits Saint Georges. Excellent.
