The score for 2018 Lucien Le Moine Nuits St Georges Les Vaucrains Premier Cru is 93-95 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - Bright, full ruby. Lively aromas of black fruits and violet are given an airy quality by limestone lift. Juicy, penetrating and a bit youthfully imploded, with its rich flavors of blackberry, black cherry and bitter chocolate enlivened by strong mineral energy. Finishes very long and firmly tannic, with a structure to support extended aging. Mounir Saouma said he's likely to bottle this wine toward the end. Offers a sexy sweetness but comes across as less extreme than the Boudots, and showing less baby fat. Exciting potential here. (I also tasted the Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Cailles before the malo started, and it's a seriously dark, powerful wine with kirsch, licorice and violet flavors supported by a strong mineral backbone. But the wine's tannins were too disturbed by the malic acidity to attempt an early assessment. I did not taste the Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges, which also had not started its secondary fermentation.
