Vinous Neal Martin - 01 May 19
The 2011 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru has a pure and perfumed bouquet with lush red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, finely integrated oak with just a hint of crushed rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, good density, pure with the right amount of salinity to leave you begging for another sip on the finish. There is a sense of completeness and harmony here. Wonderful. Tasted at Flint Wines Burgundy 2011 tasting.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

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.
