CLOS SAINT DENIS Grand Cru Domaine Stéphane Magnien 2018
The 2018 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru has quite an intense bouquet with red berry fruit, touches of blackcurrant, pain d'épice and sous-bois. This seems to grow and deepen in the glass, developing some unnecessary headiness and then, as if skulking from out of a darkened corner, noticeable and sadly compromising Brettanomyces. The palate is medium-bodied with quite thick and dense tannins. Backward and rather surly, this is a serious Clos Saint-Denis, more dark than light, with some dryness and austerity on the finish. Like reading Dostoevsky when you just want a simple page-turner. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.
NUITS SAINT GEORGES Les Murgers des Cras Domaine Christophe Perrot-Minot 2017
A blend of three Premier Crus (20% Les Cras, 20% Les Murgers and 60% Les Richemone), the 2017 Nuit Saint-Georges Les Murgers des Cras has a perfumed nose of precocious red berry fruit, baking powder and orange zest aromas. The smooth, harmonious palate is fleshy and generous, displaying more cohesion and sensuality than some of the other Village Crus. This is a comely, very pretty, charming Nuits Saint-Georges, vivid and zesty.
