Mister Wright Fine Wines : 1593 Third Avenue : (212) 722-4564 :
The first nose is precise, discreet and very fine. There are notes of fresh berries, redcurrants and a lovely, very elegant floral fragrance. Supple and well-balanced on the palate, the wine's energy, texture and intensity carry you along. The journey through the estate's 1er Crus begins.
Tender and elegant with great freshness, Mont des Oiseaux is a perfect match for fine meats, white fish and fresh, fruit-based desserts.
This Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru is located inside the Clos de l'Arlot. Mont des Oiseaux is a cuvée produced in small quantities from Clos de l'Arlot's youngest vines, an estate Monopoly. It comes from the upper part of the Clos with a white limestone soil, and from a plot of young vines located at the bottom of the Clos on marl soil.
Ageing in barrels, with 30% of new barrels. Bottling takes place after 15-18 months of ageing.
James Suckling Review:
Forget the idea that this appellation is all about firm and assertive wines, because this is very elegant. For such a warm and dry vintage, this has a wonderful freshness and only red fruit (think summer berries, including strawberries) that is finely nuanced. At once well structured and supple on the medium-bodied palate, with a long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
