Jean Grivot Nuits St Georges Les Lavieres 2011

"Despite being already ten years old, this is a beautiful Nuits-St-Georges Villages from one of the most respected growers in Burgundy. Pale ruby/garnet in color, the nose reveals fresh notes of raspberry and redcurrants, with a seductive youthful cherry aroma. The palate shows more development with a tinge of gamey characteristics but still retaining gorgeous primary fruit such as wild berries, black currants and a touch of sweet spice. There's ample structure and a really refreshing acidity that gives the wine great balance, whilst the tannins are ripe and silky. This is a gorgeous Nuits St Georges that is drinking at its prime, and is excellent value for money!"
