Marchand & Tawse, Nuits Saint Georges Perrieres

Marchand & Tawse, Nuits Saint Georges PerrieresHere too there is background oak treatment that frames the admirably pure and cool red pinot fruit, violet, and discreetly spicy aromas. There is excellent detail and precision to the intense middleweight flavors that are shaped by relatively refined tannins on the youthfully austere and sneaky long finale. I like the balance and the overall quality makes this worth taking a look at.

Moderate but not really invasive wood serves as a backdrop for the mix of various dark berry fruit elements where additional breadth is present in the form of earth

By no means a blockbuster (in a vintage that produced almost endless numbers of them)

In addition

‘precisely gracious’

anise and black tea notes that flash throughout

complemented by a touch of exotic spices that emerges on the back half

fine and flinty bouquet of perfectly ripe Riesling fruits

Some very clever tannin management here

graphite and plums

with a vertical dimension on the palate

Amazing balance and grace

with its hints of herbs
