Nuits St. Georges les Plateaux 2016 Mongeard-Mugneret

Avis professionnels

Burghound (89)

Moderate reduction masks the underlying fruit at present though there is very good freshness and punch to the detailed and lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that offer solid depth and length though in this case the rusticity is more overt on the youthfully austere finale. This moderately firm and muscular effort is very Nuits in basic character and will need at least a few years of cellar time to unwind and soften.

Strongly aromatic nose with spice and red fruit leaping forth – but also a glue aroma (possible acetic influence?). Firm, grainy tannins and bright acidic finish. (RH)
