Nuits Saint Georges Les Allots, Benjamin Leroux 2010

Tasting Notes

Strong reduction dominates the nose. By contrast there is good freshness and verve to the complex and relatively sophisticated medium-bodied flavors as the tannins are quite finely rendered though there is still a trace of Nuits rusticity on the delicious and lingering finish. Solid if not truly exceptional.

The 2010 Nuits St. George Aux Allots once again is open, expressive and quite generous. Layers of dark red fruit caress the palate, followed by floral notes that add lift and a measure of brightness, especially on the finish. This is a silky, juicy style of Nuits. I imagine the wine will drink nicely upon release. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
