Philippe Pacalet – Aux Argiles 2020 – Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru

The nose is fruity and offers juicy and crunchy fruit at the same time. It reveals notes of juicy/ripe cherry, small juicy/ripe red fruits, and more slightly – notes of cherry blossom associated with fine touches of fresh plum as well as discreet hints of nutmeg. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, a fresh frame as well as limestone/racy minerality. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, juicy/fresh raspberry, and more slightly – notes of juicy/fresh plum associated with slight touches of toasted almond, toast as well as a subtle almost vanilla hint. Good length. A subtle chewiness on the finish/persistence.
