Camille Giroud, Nuits Saint Georges Vaucrains Vintage:2009 Tangy and chalky on theCroix generally seems to do very well with this wine and 2009 is no exception because despite the reduction that presently compromises the nose, the depth of material on the extremely rich, full bodied and powerful flavors is simply outstanding.

Patience required but it should be more than worth the wait.
