Vinous: 93-95 Points
The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru has a bold and forthright bouquet with black cherries, black plum, crushed violet and just a touch of fig. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins and gentle grip. It is fresher on the finish than the Les Pruliers, with fine tension and length. This is very promising - the terroir shows through beautifully.
Burghound: 93-95 Points
Note: from a .60 ha parcel of 75+ year old vines. Here the wood influence is also nicely subtle on the floral and spice-inflected red pinot, cherry and soft earth-suffused aromas. There is good detail to the bigger, richer and more obviously muscular flavors that manage to remain reasonably refined on the youthfully austere, refreshing and lightly stony finish that is compact, powerful and very clearly built-to-age. This is very much a 'buy and forget' LSG but one that eventually should be well-worth the wait. In a word, outstanding.
