RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

Medium to full-bodied, well-balanced, and intense, it is a soy sauce, black tea, smoke, blackberry, and tar-flavored offering. This complex, detailed wine displays a long finish loaded with nuanced flavors.

91Stephen Tanzer

..aromas of redcurrant, plum, tobacco leaf and mocha; very fresh for 2000. Then sweet and lush but fresh and floral in the mouth, with subtle notes of torrefaction.This offers superb sweetness and volume. Finishes with lush, noble tannin..

89-92Burghound.com

..quite complex with elegant and fine pinot and earth aromas and rich, quite structured flavors wrapped in velvet. The velvet makes this seem remarkably approachable but the balance will permit this to age gracefully..

Coates calls Les Saint-Georges “the best wine of the commune. It is simply the most complete, the most complex, and the most profound.”
