This is also generously wooded with a similar fruit profile to that of the Bousselots. The texture of the medium weight flavors is slightly finer if a bit less concentrated with a more minerality in evidence on the firm youthfully austere and balanced finale. The healthy dollop of wood aside this is really quite pretty and the mid-palate appears to have the stuffing to eventually absorb the oak and my predicted range assumes that it will. (Drink starting 2030)
This sector took a bit of hail but early. I can detect a bit of the garrigue which Etienne Grivot finds in Roncière. There is plenty of red fruit behind. The oak is still a little dominant and the tannins bring up the finish but I think the fruit will triumph in due course.
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Roncière 1er Cru seems to carry the 50% new oak better than the Bousselottes offering a mélange of red and black fruit a light oyster shell influence in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe red berry fruit veins of blood orange and a tang of marmalade leading to a slightly savory finish that lingers in the mouth. Afford this three or four years in bottle. (Drink between 2027-2040)
