Esprit Leflaive Nuits Saint Georges 2020 2020
Description
Description
The Esprit Leflaive Nuits‑Saint‑Georges 2020 is a precise cuvée from two old plots (total 1.15 ha, vines from 1955) on clay-limestone soils. It is hand-harvested, aged for 15 months in oak (25% new), then for 3 months in stainless steel tanks. Although this is a Village wine, it displays the typical finesse of Côte de Nuits Pinot Noirs – elegant, clearly structured, and with remarkable balance.
In the glass, it presents with a brilliant ruby red. The bright nose offers black cherry, blackberries, and a fine, earthy minerality – typical of Nuits-Saint-Georges. On the palate, it is fine, juicy, and delicately structured with silky tannins and subtle depth. The balance between ripeness and freshness is extremely harmonious.
