Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 01
Good ruby-red. Slightly inky aroma of red- and blackcurrant, plum, licorice and bitter chocolate. Muscular and thick, but fresh acidity gives the flavors excellent clarity and a distinctly penetrating quality. Dense but juicy. Finishes with firm tannins that coat the sides of the tongue. This powerful and impressive wine will require a good decade of aging.

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.
