Domaine Gérard Julien Nuits-St-Georges ‘Aux Saints-Juliens’ 2022
$226.00
Description
From a .63 ha holding; vinified with 40% whole clusters.
"50% whole bunch vinification and 60% new wood. A deep purple centre. Here the fruit expresses itself a little more than the blended Nuits, with plums and raspberries mingling together. The wine is more assured across the palate with fruit and oak interweaving nicely. An attractive little tingle to finish. Drink from 2030-2036."
90-92 points, Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, Nov 2023
"Airy and overtly floral-suffused aromas of spiced red cherry are surrounded by more subtle oak influence. The sleek, supple and rounded middleweight flavors possess a more sophisticated mouthfeel that carries over to the graceful if youthfully austere finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. There is very good richness and volume and overall, this is also a very fine Nuits villages that should age gracefully."
89-92 points, Allen Meadow’s Burghound, Jan 2024
