Description
This comes from a Premier Cru site with an 80-90cm topsoil for vines to stretch their eager roots. The reserved nose has blueberry, blackberry and hints of savoury character. There is a complex, weighted juiciness where dark fruit and clove spice fill the palate. Tannins are handled perfectly and the acidity, like so many 2022 wines, is spot-on. The finish is beautifully extended.

Critics reviews
A very dense crimson purple. Luxuriant on the nose, though possibly for the first time in the line-up there is a suggestion of over ripeness. Not racked, but with some whole bunches. Very intense, good acidity behind saves the day, lush plums on the palate. The final feel is a touch too rich, but the racking may refine this.
Drink 2030 - 2038
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Argillières 1er Cru is strict on the nose at first, buttoned-up black fruit, the whole bunches 30%) neatly assimilated. The medium-bodied palate offers succulent, ripe black fruit commingling with blood orange, graphite and touches of black pepper. This wine has a beautiful build, which feels long and tender on the finish. Excellent.
