Gilbert et Christine Felettig, Nuits Saint Georges other_regions The full-bodied palate offers complex(from Lavires and Chaillots; ~20% whole clusters). (from a . 20 ha parcel in Les Chaliots and another . 11 ha parcel in Aux Lavires). Firm reduction. There is excellent freshness, energy and detail to the delicious middle weight flavors that also exude a bracing salinity on the youthfully austere but not really rustic finale that displays very fine depth and persistence. A ripe but mostly classic Nuits villages.
