Winery - Manuel Olivier
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A wine that is all about crispness, structure and bright fruits. The creamy texture from lees aging gives a rounder dimension, but the main thrust here is minerality coupled with delicious acidity.

An attractively simple, fruity Pinot Noir. It has ripe wild strawberry and red plum flavors, spiced with a gamy edge. The wine has a light structure, and is not for aging.

There is a good amount of the square, chunky Nuits Saint-Georges feel to this wine. Manuel Olivier is based in the town, so should know his stuff, and has blended a solid, firm wine, with a dark edge of tannins, balanced by acid freshness.

Rich and smooth, packed with strawberry and black berry flavors. It has weight as well, coming from a fine layer of wood, spice and solid tannins. There is great acidity, balancing well with the firm structure. For medium-term aging.

Dark colored wine, which translates into richness and flavors of full-bodied damsons and plum fruits, with finely judged tannins and wood. Natural power, with concentration and final acidity to give just the right lift.

A very dense wine, packed with red fruits, showing ripe concentration. There is an underlying toast and spice character to balance the sweet fruit. The weight is there now, the richness will come later.

A beautifully perfumed aroma leads to a fresh, light but attractive wine. The fruits dominate, with red cherries and plum skins, a touch of jam and a final streak of acidity.

A successful expression of serious tannins, while balancing them with firm, dark fruits. The dry edge does demand some aging, five years or more, to bring out the weight of this solid wine.

Light Pinot Noir, with crisp raspberry flavors. The very fruity wine has an edge of bitterness to go with the acidity.

A rich wine that shows the power of Gevrey, even in a lesser vintage. The fruit fills the glass with aromas of red plums, sweet raspberries and cranberry juice. There is spice here along with juicy fresh acidity. It is worth aging 3–4 years, but is delicious now.
