Description

93 points Wine Spectator
Dark and mysterious, with intense flavors of black currant, black cherry, licorice, mint and toast permeating the lush texture. The firm tannins build as this finishes long, echoing fruit and spice details. Best from 2021 through 2035. (BS) (11/2019)
92 points James Suckling
Bouchard own one hectare of the total of three in this 1er Cru parcel, in the south of the appellation. The chalky soil delivers elegance here, with aromas of ripe dark cherries and a fragrant, expressive nose with a lot of violets (30-40 per cent whole clusters). The palate has a very smooth, supple and flavorful feel with some attractive compression of fine tannins. Long, rich dark-cherry finish. (2/2019)
91 points Jasper Morris
Medium deep darker red, with a slightly smudged ripe fruit nose. There is plenty of fruit weight with some blackcurrant notes. More precision would be even better but there is plenty to work with here.(9/2021)
91 points Wine Advocate
Attractive aromas of raspberries and cherries mingling with nuances of blood orange, grilled squab and dark chocolate introduce the 2017 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles, a wine that's showing substantially better than it did from barrel in December. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, showing good depth and dimension at the core, fine but chalky structuring tannins and good length on the finish. (WK) (4/2019)
