Lucien Le Moine, Nuits Saint Georges Vaucrains Vintage:2017 Here there is better wood

Here there is better wood integration framing the pretty and ripe blend of both red and black fruit that displays a subtle animale character as well as notes of underbrush

White Hawk vineyard (Cat Canyon)

detail and solid power to the medium-bodied and tautly muscular flavors that are shaped by slightly firmer if less refined tannins on the slightly austere but complex finish

Lucien Le Moine, Nuits Saint Georges Vaucrains Vintage:2017 Here there is better woodA very ripe yet still agreeably fresh nose features notes of warm earth, poached plum, mocha and cassis. There is excellent richness to the solidly concentrated and well detailed flavors that possess a sleek mouth feel despite the presence of plenty of taut muscularity, all wrapped in an austere and serious finish that is impressively complex and persistent. This is not as concentrated as the Vaucrains but its every bit as structured. (91 94) 2033+
