Nuits-Saint-Georges Lavieres 1996

The 1996 Nuits-Saint-Georges Lavières from Domaine Jean Grivot is a fascinating Pinot Noir that perfectly showcases the typical characteristics of this prestigious appellation. The 1996 vintage is known in Burgundy for its harmonious balance between fruit and acidity, and this wine impressively embodies these qualities.
The nose unfolds a complex bouquet with aromas of ripe red fruits, including cherries, raspberries, and plums, accompanied by hints of spice and earthy nuances. Subtle floral notes reminiscent of violets and roses add additional depth and finesse. Over time, hints of truffle and leather develop, further enhancing the complexity of the wine.
On the palate, the Nuits-Saint-Georges Lavières 1996 presents an elegant structure and a velvety texture. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, giving the wine a pleasant smoothness. The lively acidity provides freshness and highlights the fruity aromas, which are in perfect harmony with the earthy and spicy notes. The minerality typical of this vineyard is clearly evident, lending the wine remarkable depth.
