Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 12
Good deep red. Medicinal dark cherry, mint and licorice on the nose. A dense, nicely concentrated midweight, with red and darker fruit flavors lifted by orange zest and mint. Finishes with fine tannins, a stony firmness and a sappy cherry flavor. Nothing overripe about this village wine.

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.
