Consistently one of the finest villages reds produced in Burgundy, Gilles Jayer’s 2002 Nuits-St.-Georges Hauts Poirets bursts forth with earthy, stony minerals and blackberries. Medium-bodied and satin-textured, it boasts admirable purity of flavors, depth, and superb ripeness. Its prolonged character is packed with sweet red cherries that seamlessly linger through its impressive finish. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2012.
