The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges Le Richemone 1er Cru has a clean and precise bouquet with floral scents of black cherry, raspberry and crushed violet, quite "airy" in style and well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, crisp and taut with a dash of spice towards the finish that fans out with a sense of confidence and breeding. This is a very well-crafted Nuits Saint-Georges, classic in style and so tempting in its flush of youth. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting. (NM)

A densely fruited, ripe and exuberantly fresh nose offers up notes of cassis, plum, dark raspberry and a variety of spice nuances. The impressively concentrated broad-shouldered flavors possess a plush yet reasonably defined mouthfeel before culminating in a driving, focused and very powerful finish that seems to go on and on. This is a big wine where the abundant dry extract presently largely hides the firm core of supporting tannins but make no mistake, this will need plenty of time to reach its apogee. At the same time, the sheer density of the sap will allow this to be enjoyed young if that's your preference. *Outstanding*

The 2016 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru La Richemone Vieilles Vignes "Cuvée Ultra" has a mineral-driven bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit suffused with flinty, slate-like scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, a fine line of acidity, fresh from the start but maintaining impressive elegance and poise right to the finish. This has great potential and it should age well for a couple of decades. (NM)

Richly fragrant on the aroma, much more so than their Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes. Finely ground but firm tannic mouthfeel. Good, lengthy red fruit on the finish with an attractive medicinal note. 17/20 points (RH)
