The 1991 Nuits St.-Georges-Les Hauts Poirets and 1991 Nuits St.-Georges-Les Damodes reveal better overall balance than the Cotes de Nuits and the Hautes Cotes de Nuits as well as more ripeness and richness to balance out their noticeable tannin level. Both wines are at least 3-4 years away from full maturity. If the fruit becomes more evident and the tannin dissipates without any reduction in fruit, my ratings will seem ungenerous. Robert Jayer is one of the surest-handed winemakers in the Cotes de Nuits, and my reviews of five 1991 offerings are somewhat disappointing in light of what he has accomplished over the last decade. The five 1991 offerings are not the sure bet Jayer's wines have been in the past. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC.
