Pierre Naigeon – Les Herbeux 2017 – Nuits-Saint-Georges

The nose is elegant, gourmand, fresh and offers creaminess, a fine grain as well as a beautiful small stretched side. It reveals notes of creamy boysenberry, fleshy strawberry and small notes of fleshy cherry associated with small touches of violet, rose, sweet blond tobacco as well as slight hints of vanilla and a discreet hint of pepper. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers creaminess, a beautiful acidulous frame, energy, tension, fat, roundness, delicacy as well as a slight aerial side in its richness/creaminess. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy raspberry, creamy wild strawberry and small of blackberry associated with touches of cherry, tonka bean, vanilla, rose/lilac as well as fine hints of fresh redcurrants (in the background) and toasted.
