GEVREY CHAMBERTIN 1er Cru Lavaut Saint Jacques Domaine J. Confuron Cotetidot 2018
(from a .30 ha parcel). A slightly cooler nose is comprised by notes of red and dark currant with background nuances of forest floor, game and earth. There is better vibrancy to the larger-scaled flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the mouth coating and bitter fruit pit-inflected finish that is very firm. Lavaut St. Jacques generally does better in warmer years and to that end this is a bit fresher than any of the foregoing wines though with that said, this is still somewhat atypically ripe.
NUITS SAINT GEORGES 1er Cru Les Saint Georges Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair 2017
The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a straightforward bouquet of red cherries plus a touch of balsamic, showing fine delineation and intensity. It opens and deepens nicely in the glass, though it requires time to absorb the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and fine acidity, and quite saline and stocky on the broad-shouldered, almost Morey-like finish. Though a tad brutish at the moment, this should improve in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.
