Tasting Notes

89-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(just 9 barrels produced from 1.5 hectares; like the following wines, this had not been racked since July): Bright, dark red. Inviting scents of black raspberry and currant. Boasts lovely richness, breadth and sweetness, with its flavors tending toward black fruits owing to the concentration from tiny yields. Dense, structured and long, finishing with a ripe suggestion of chocolate.

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.
