Ruby-red. Pure aromas of black cherry, currant, espresso and spicy oak. Rich, fat and ripe but youthfully subdued today. This is dense and concentrated but its rather muscular components have not yet come into harmony. Similarly a bit sullen on the back end, but the tannins are fine. IÂ’d expect this to reward five or six years of additional cellaring.

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.
