Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Nov 18
The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a lovely, open, welcoming bouquet of red cherry, wild strawberry, orange blossom and light marmalade scents that seem to gain intensity with a few swirls of the glass. The poised, harmonious palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. A complex, slightly earthy finish leaves brown spices lingering on the aftertaste. This is a divine expression of both appellation and vintage. Bon vin! Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is famous for its robust, structured Pinot Noir wines with rich flavours of dark cherries, blackberries, and plums, along with earthy, spicy notes. Known for firm tannins and full-bodied character, these wines are ideal for ageing. Although lacking Grand Cru vineyards, Premier Cru sites like Les Saint-Georges and Les Vaucrains produce exceptional wines. Top producers include Domaine Henri Gouges, Domaine Faiveley, and Domaine Robert Chevillon, all celebrated for showcasing the unique terroir with traditional winemaking.
