Tasting Notes

87-89
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
(racked into tank three weeks before my visit; 80% vendange entier): Healthy dark red. Aromas and flavors of black cherry and violet complicated by chocolate and leather nuances: very Nuits-Saint-Georges. Boasts a fat texture but also a slight dryness. Falls down a bit on the finish, where the tannins are a bit dusty.

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.
