Terrific Value - JJ Confuron Nuits-Saint-Georges ‘Les Fleurières‘

Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron

We’ve been visiting Sophie and Alain Meunier at Domaine Jean-Jacques Confuron for the better part of a decade, and it’s been a pleasure to witness the quiet evolution of this great estate. Over the last few vintages, the winemaking baton has been passed to their son Louis, who has brought a fresh sensibility to the cellar — reducing new oak and incorporating a touch of whole cluster fermentation to amplify perfume, texture, and energy.

Exemplifying those qualities is their village Nuits-Saints-Georges ‘Les Fleurières‘ - from a 1.23ha parcel that sits right below the Nuits 1er Les Pruliers.  Often overlooked, this is classic NSG at a terrific value.

2023 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Fleurieres
• 89-91JM, 87-89 BH

"A ripe mix of red and dark pinot fruit is cut with hints of earth, violet and a whiff of the sauvage. The supple and round medium-bodied flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel that contrasts somewhat with the moderately rustic and solidly persistent finale. This could use better depth so a few years of cellaring are recommended."
- Allen Meadows

2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Fleurieres
• 90-92JM, 87-90BH

"There is just enough wood to notice setting off the more deeply pitched and slightly riper aromas of warm earth, poached plum and cassis. The rich and vibrant medium-bodied flavors possess an attractive succulence before terminating in a moderately rustic, firm and balanced finish that is very Nuits in character. Some patience should again prove beneficial."
- Allen Meadows

2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Fleurieres
• 91JM, 92DC

"This attractive wine is a bit closed initially on the nose and then opens with a lovely, ripe raspberry and plum fruit and notes of earth and spice on the palate. The texture is elegant, with firm tannins, moderate extract, and impressive length, especially at this level. The wine is made from a 1.23-hectare parcel below premier cru Les Pruliers. The organically-farmed grapes are partially destemmed before careful fermentation and ageing in cask (20% new)."

2020 Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Fleurieres
• 88-91JM, 88BH, 92JS

"A restrained, cooler and slightly more elegant nose is comprised by notes of ripe red currant and a hint of forest floor character. There is even better underlying tension and fine delineation if not quite the same mid-palate density to the medium-bodied flavors that display a subtle bead of minerality on the lingering and dusty but not really austere finale."
- Allen Meadows
