Camille Giroud, Nuits-Saint-Georges 2021 – Nuits-Saint-Georges

The wine has a pale ruby color. The nose is aromatic, slightly smoky and meaty at first. After aeration, it expresses notes of sweet spices (nutmeg, white pepper, licorice, a touch of vanilla) and notes of torrefaction (toasted hazelnut, toasted bread), as well as ripe fruit (wild strawberry, raspberry coulis, fresh raspberry, morello cherry, roasted red cherry, red currant) and a floral bouquet (cornflower, lily, peony). The palate is juicy, supple and fragrant. It expresses notes of wild strawberry, fresh morello cherry, roasted red cherry, crushed raspberry, blueberry, associated with notes of peony, fresh cornflower, lily, as well as a fine spiciness (cloves, a touch of vanilla, nutmeg) and a toasted touch, even finely caramelised in the background (caramelised hazelnut). The tannins are fine, supple and sapid. Good length, good fruit and juiciness, with a nice refreshing acidity.
