The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru has a lovely ripe, rounded bouquet with rose petal, cranberry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate has a sense of depth and roundness, a plump NSG yet with tension and poise on the finish. This is only just starting to open up. Drink 2025-2040.

Discreet but still discernible wood sets off cool, pure and elegant aromas of various dark berries, plum and a touch of freshly turned earth. There is a lovely sense of refinement to the still sleekly muscular and powerful middle weight flavors that possess a sappy mouthfeel on the ever-so-mildly austere, long and serious finale. Drink 2028+.
The 2018 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots is performing well in bottle, delivering aromas of sweet berries, cassis, plums, dark chocolate and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and elegantly muscular, it's nicely balanced, with plenty of boisterous upfront charm as well as potential for the longer-term. Drink 2022-2050.
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
