Lucien Le Moine
Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Another wine freakishly slow (at least, by the standards of other addresses) to finish its malo-lactic transformation (in July) and alcoholic fermentation (in September!), Le Moine's 2006 Nuits St.-Georges Les Cailles displays high-toned cherry and almond extract on the nose; comes to the palate bright and sleek, with chalk, cardamom, and fruit pit accents adding interest if also to a certain sense of austerity; and finishes with a combination crushed stone and ore-like mineral sensations in dialog with lip-smacking fresh fruit. This exhibits exemplary refinement of tannins by any standards, not to mention those of the vintage, and I would not be surprised to see it perform well for a decade (give it a 2-3 year head start, though) - who knows, perhaps even for the 15 or more years that its author envisions!
