2008 Nuits St. GeorgesVillages Red 750 ml
Score: 90
Tasted: Jan 01, 2011
Drink: 2020+
Issue: 41
Note: a blend of Lavières, Au Bas de Combe and Aux Allots
Producer note: Lalou Bize-Leroy professes to “love 2008. The vintage produced very solid wines with beautiful acidities and superb, and very fine, tannins. We produced across all of our appellations only 13 hl/ha with essentially ideal pHs of between 3.4 and 3.55. For me, the ’08s resemble the ’05s with their ripe phenolics and built to age structures though the ’08s are perhaps a bit more revelatory in terms of the underlying terroirs. I believe that 2008 is a genuinely great vintage and I only hope that 2009 will be as good.” The Leroy ’08s were bottled in December, 2009. (Martine’s Wines, www.martineswines.com, Novato, CA; Justerini & Brooks, www.justerini.com, John Armit, www.armit.co.uk, Howard Ripley, www.howardripley.com, and Lay & Wheeler, www.laywheeler.com, all UK).
Tasting note: This is also quite fresh but notably earthier with a pretty blend of spiced red currant and blue berry aromas that are followed by detailed and seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that possess a mouth coating and moderately austere finish that is supported by quite firm and mildly rustic tannins.
