Dark ruby-colored, the Nuits-St.-Georges Aux Argillats exhibits strong roasted fruit aromatics and a distinct stinkiness in the nose (this off-putting odor will most probably blow-off prior to bottling, but... hence the question mark) and a highly structured, masculine, chewy and slightly tannic mouth of super-dark fruits. Built to last, this wine should be cellared for 4+ years. It will keep for another 6-8. Aged in 50% new oak, this wine is made by Hubert Chauvenet, Daniel Chopin's (of Domaine Chopin-Groffier fame) son-in-law. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.
