Tasting Notes

89-91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 14
(67% vendange entier): Medium red. Cherry, raspberry and a sexy peppery element on the musky nose. Juicy and aromatic in the mouth, in a rather gentle style but with good framing acidity. The pretty side of Nuits-Saint-Georges, from vines at the top of the hill, finishing with fairly suave tannins and nice lingering perfume. The youngest vines here were planted in 1980.

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.
