Jasper Morris: 93-95 Points

The Les St Georges comes under the negociant label Joseph Faiveley as the produce of their own vines is mixed with two other sources one of which is the Hospices de Nuits. A deep crimson colour. The bouquet is relatively luxurious a super succulent ripe raspberry with very good tension behind. This seems very young but the abundant fruit and the structure are promising. The fruit on the palate is fresher than for the village Nuits.

Wine Advocate: 92-94 Points

The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges unwinds in the glass with notes of dark berries orange zest exotic spices and peonies followed by a medium to full-bodied ample and richly layered palate its generous core of fruit framed by sweet powdery tannins. Seamless and complete it's almost the stylistic opposite of the ethereal Damodes. Jérôme Flous and his team have produced another compelling range of 2022s and it's hardly surprising given the high level of vineyard management chez Faiveley or the skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar. As is often the case up and down the Côte d'Or the style is more delicate and sensual than was the case in 2020 and the wines seem set to offer broad drinking windows. Published: Jan 18 2024

Burghound: 91-93 Points

More moderate wood influence is present on the equally ripe yet cool aromas of various spice elements red

Vinous: 91-93 Points

The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru is aged in 50% new oak. It has quite a tertiary bouquet a mixture of red and black fruit red cherries becoming the most prominent scent with a touch of forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry quite a plush Les Saint-Georges with a dash of white pepper and allspice. I would like a little more grip and complexity on the finish but it should still drink well for 15-20 years. (Drink between 2025-2042)
