Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 18
The 2006 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has impressive intensity on the nose with blackberry, bilberry, dried leaves and a touch of dry tobacco. There is certainly good fruit intensity here. The palate is clean and fresh on the entry with grainy tannins, nicely structured with cracked black pepper on the earthy finish. This appears to be ageing nicely. Tasted at the Gouges retrospective at La Cabotte.

Nuits-Saint-Georges

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.
