Jonathan Ray's Verdict
"Finally, the 2017 Domaine Alain Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Chaignots from fourth-generation Elodie Michelot, daughter of fabled Alain. Rupert declared it ‘full-bodied, almost pillowy’, Will reckoned it ‘agricultural, but in a good way’ and Lara loved its intensity. It certainly has great concentration of blackberry fruit and, with just a touch of new oak, a whisper of vanilla along with more leathery, truffly notes. Rupert pondered his second glass before professing it to be it ‘Nuits-Saint-Gorgeous’."
- Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine (previous vintage)
Premier Cru Burgundy with Age on Its Side
Eight years from vintage, this Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru combines concentrated blackberry fruit with the more savoury character that comes with maturity. Leather and truffle sit alongside a subtle whisper of vanilla from the restrained use of new oak.
Rich, intense and generously textured, this is a fine example of mature Premier Cru Burgundy. With its concentrated fruit, developed savoury notes and beautifully balanced structure, it's ready to enjoy now, particularly alongside roast game, duck or mushroom dishes.
