2019 Vincent Ledy Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Porets St. Georges Vieilles Vignes 250ML and layeredProduced from a parcel of vines planted in 1935! Ledy makes two wines from Les Porets St. Georges; this cuve is purely from his oldest vines and the difference between the two is stark. It is ripe and intense, but not over the top, just beautifully concentrated and sappy, as the 2019 vintage is wont to produce.
