1993 Domaine Jean Grivot Nuits Saint-Georges Les Roncières
BY NEAL MARTIN |
This bottle of 1993 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Roncières 1er Cru was ‘magpied’ off a list in Beaune, one of the few bottles whose umbilical had not been cut within the last three years. I was tentative about suggesting it to friends over from the United States touring Burgundy because though I adore the vintage; it coincides with the notorious Guy Accad era. Accad’s controversial methods included extended maceration over several weeks and high doses of SO2, techniques that were subsequently traduced. At that time, companies returned their entire allocation of 1989s because of its questionable quality. Imagine that happening nowadays.
