The 2011 Nuits St.Georges Les Allots has a striking bouquet, more immediate than the Pommard with lifted mineralite, beautifully defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, waves of black currant and raspberry fruit underlined by superb tension and poise. Everything is reined in toward the finish that is very composed with a long aftertaste and spicy coda. Excllent. - Neal Martin

Here the fruit profile is cooler still with restrained aromas that resemble those of the Lavières with perhaps just a bit more in the way of spice elements. There is really lovely detail to the lightly mineral-suffused medium weight flavors that display a bit more austerity on the more firmly structured finish that is well-buffered by the palate coating extract. This too is very impressive for its level.
