2018 Nuits St. Georges, 1er Cru Les Cailles, Domaine Bouchard Pere et Fils (6 x Bottle)
The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru displays more mineralité on the nose compared to its peers - well-defined, focused, neatly integrated oak, aromatics that seem to unfurl in the glass (an uncommon trait in this vintage). The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, well balanced and quite refined. A judicious touch of cracked black pepper and allspice on the elegant finish gains detail with aeration. Give it just another 12 months in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting.

Vinous
The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru comes from a one-hectare plot located mid-slope. It has a lively blueberry-scented bouquet typical of this vineyard, nicely focused if not amazingly complex. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins; the oak is a little more noticeable here, although it will be subsumed with time. Lovely white pepper and clove notes surface on the finish. Drink over the next 15–20 years.
