Jean Grivot Nsg Les Charmois 2011 (750ML)

91-93 AG / 88-91 AM

The 2011 Nuits St. Georges Les Charmois is marked by a firmer tannic spine and more floral notes than are found in the Lavi¬res. Bright red cherries, mint and freshly cut roses are some of the nuances that are woven together in the glass. Hints of sweet tobacco and earthiness add complexity on the vibrant finish. This is a terrific showing, and a wine with quite a bit of potential. Antonio Galloni

Here too reduction renders the nose impossible to properly evaluate. The delicious, vibrant and well-detailed flavors possess a silky mouth feel before culminating in a moderately firm, balanced and lingering finish. This clearly offers a qualitative step up relative to the Vosne villages. (Barrel Tasting) Allen Meadows
