Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges Dominique Laurent 2005 is a Premier Cru Pinot Noir from the most famous vineyard in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. Les Saint-Georges is widely considered of Grand Cru quality, featuring deep limestone and clay soils that produce wines of great longevity. 2005 was a stellar vintage, providing the structural backbone and ripeness to match the vineyard’s power. Dominique Laurent uses a high proportion of new oak to frame the intense fruit and earthy aromatics. The wine displays notes of black cherry, truffle and spice, with a muscular yet silky texture.

Vinous
Bright ruby-red. Dark raspberry, flowers and minerals on the subtle nose. Comes across as less fat and full today than the Vaucrains, due to the drying influence of the CO2 But this very pure, structured, aristocratic wine offers great precision and energy. Finishes with a juicy, sappy immediacy and superb length. This youthfully closed wine will benefit from 10 to 12 years of bottle aging. This is from the same original planting as the Vaucrains, says Laurent, but the Vaucrains fruit is always riper.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2007
