A lightly spiced nose of red currant cassis and violet aromas is trimmed in soft wood notes that precede the supple and moderately well-concentrated yet relatively fine medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent depth and length in a well-balanced package. Like its 2010 counterpart it is only on the finish does the robustness of a classic Nuits arrive and overall, this is really fine juice with excellent cellaring potential. Drink 2021+

The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Chaignots is deep, dark and muscular. It shows tons of intensity in its fruit along with an opulent personality. This is a clear example where The 2008 is much more expressive with regards to site. That said, it's hard not to admire the wine's enveloping, generous texture.

Good deep red-ruby. High-pitched aromas of black cherry, licorice, pepper and flowers. Very ripe but juicy and a bit youthfully imploded, with much more energy and tannic support than the Vosne villages This broad, long wine saturates the palate on the spicy finish.
