Notes:

Burghound (Allen Meadows) 90-92

“A slightly more deeply pitched array is comprised of red currant, violets, plum, tea and again plenty of earth. The mouth feel of the middle weight flavors is slightly tighter and firmer and I like the taut muscularity displayed by the focused, powerful and long finish. This is much more obviously Nuits in style though it's not overtly rustic.” (January, 2016)

Vinous Media (Stephen Tanzer) 89-91

“Fresh medium red. Slightly reduced aromas of musky red berries, smoke and earth. Silky and rich, showing a restrained sweetness to the red berry and smoke flavors. Offers an attractive balance of fruit and salinity, with the finish featuring palate-saturating, fine-grained tannins and excellent length.” (January, 2016)

Wine Advocate (Neal Martin) 91-93

“The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les Roncières comes from a hectare of 52-year-old vines planted on limestone-rich soils. It has a comparatively ripe bouquet with "fleshy" red cherries, tinned apricot and crushed strawberry fruit; it is more forward than the Bousselots, but maybe without the same degree of accuracy. The palate is tighter than the nose suggests, nicely structured with very pure strawberry and red cherry fruit; there is a mineral vein coming through on the elegant, poised finish. If the nose improves by the time of bottling, then this will be a lovely Roncières.” (December, 2015)
