2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges, Domaine Thibault Liger-Belair

The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru contains 40% whole cluster fruit. There is an underlying marine element on the nose, a touch of shucked oyster shells behind the veneer of red and black fruit. Lovely focus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine but firm tannins, dark berry fruit laced with white pepper and a very subtle ash notes, merging into a finely structured and persistent finish. Quintessentially Les Saint-Georges - superb.
