2022 Faiveley Nuits St Georges 1er Les St Georges

More moderate wood influence is present on the equally ripe yet cool aromas of various spice elements, red currant and wild cherry. The mouthfeel of the bigger-bodied flavors is also quite sleek while displaying good detail and focused power on the youthfully austere and notably firmer finale. This too is lovely though as is usually the case with LSG, a wine that's going to require at least moderate patience.  Bughound 91-93

The Les St Georges comes under the negociant label, Joseph Faiveley, as the produce of their own vines is mixed with two other sources, one of which is the Hospices de Nuits. A deep crimson colour. The bouquet is relatively luxurious, a super succulent ripe raspberry, with very good tension behind. This seems very young, but the abundant fruit and the structure are promising. The fruit on the palate is fresher than for the village Nuits. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted: October 2023.  Jasper Morris 93-95

The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges unwinds in the glass with notes of dark berries, orange zest, exotic spices and peonies, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and richly layered palate, its generous core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins. Seamless and complete, it's almost the stylistic opposite of the ethereal Damodes.  William Kelley 92-94
