2012 Alain Michelot Nuits St Georges 1er cru les Cailles

John Gilman’s review:

“”The 2012 les Cailles from Elodie Michelot was also completely on form and showing beautifully at the time of my visit. The deep, pure and very classy nose wafts from the glass in blend of red plums, cherries, a touch of blood orange, cocoa, nutskin, a fine signature of soil, woodsmoke and a gently floral topnote that cannot decide if it is violets or roses. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and quite plush and sappy on the attack, with a rock solid core, lovely focus and grip and superb mineral drive on the long and ripely tannic finish. This is a terrific example of les Cailles! 2020-2050. 93 points””
