Domaine du Clos des Poulettes, Clos des Poulettes 1er Cru Nuits-Saint-Georges 2019

96 points James Suckling
"Breathtaking nose that's deep, dark, enticing and mysterious. Both really concentrated and wonderfully graceful, with lively acidity that drives the very long, exquisitely balanced finish. A very complete Nuits-Saint-Georges, but still youthful. From sustainably grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2024."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Domaine de la Poulette boasts a rich history dating back to the time of Louis XIV. It has been passed down through six generations, with each generation's dedication to wine being unwavering. From the Renvey family to Joannet in Arcenant, Grivot in Vosne Romanée, and Charles Maitrot, a notable figure in the world of agriculture – they all played a role in shaping the Domaine's legacy. Hélène Michaut has been at the helm of the Domaine since 2015. With her engineering background, she's brought innovation to the wine industry. Her dedication to winemaking led her to acquire a new cellar in 2015, bringing modern winemaking techniques to the heart of tradition. 
Nuits-Saint-Georges has no vineyards designated with the prestigious "Grand Cru" title but that doesn't take away from the village's long-standing reputation for producing some of Burgundy's most powerful reds. NSG, as it's called, is home to 41 Premier Cru vineyards. This prestigious appellation is one of Burgundy's finest, producing wines with impressive structure and exceptional age ability. The wines from Nuits-Saint-Georges will impress with their muscular structure, power, velvety tannins, and substantial age-ability. These wines have both body and spirit and are some of Burgundy's most long-lived.
