2021 Nuits-St-Georges, Les Cailles, Bouchard Pere et Fils

Aromas of sweet berries, rose petals, orange rind and cinnamon introduce the 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles, a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy wine that's seamless and sensual, underpinned by lively acids and concluding with a saline finish. ~ (93) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-31-2023

Here too moderately generous wood is present on the cool, pure and notably spicier nose of plum and exotic tea. There is slightly better mid-palate density as well as more evident minerality to the medium weight flavors that possess equally good tension and delineation on the balanced and impressively long finale that offers just a bit more depth. As is usually the case with Les Cailles, this is a combination of finesse and punch. ~ (94) Allen Meadows, Burghound 4-10-2023
