Tasting Notes

89-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 02
Bright ruby-red. Sauvage, superripe aromas of roasted red fruits and leather. Sweet and creamy in the mouth, with cherry and raspberry flavors enlivened by ripe acidity. Nicely balanced wine, subtle and persistent on the aftertaste.

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.
