Maison Bouchard Père & Fils Nuits St. Georges “Les Cailles” Premier Cru 2016

“Here the oak/menthol influence on the spicy aromas of plum, cassis and soft earth is more moderate though it’s still far from subtle. There is both excellent volume and precision to the delicious, sophisticated and energetic medium-bodied flavors that possess a taut muscularity before concluding in a gorgeously complex and persistent finish. This is pretty much textbook Les Cailles though one that is also clearly in need of extended cellaring.” – Allen Meadows, Burghound
