2018 Nuits-St-Georges, Les Vignes-Rondes, Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg

The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vignes Rondes has turned out especially well this year, bursting with aromas of cherries, cassis, peonies and orange rind that are framed by a very discrete touch of new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, layered and enveloping, with powdery tannins, succulent acids and a penetrating finish. ~ (93) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-9-2020

A more deeply pitched combination reflects notes of poached plum, dark currant, warm earth and more discreet spice nuances. The rich yet very well-detailed medium weight flavors exude more evident minerality on the slightly finer though not necessarily more complex or longer finish. ~ (92) Allen Meadows, Burghound 1-10-2020
