Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Oct 18
The 2012 Nuits Saint Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a very charming, beautifully defined bouquet with fresh red cherry, crushed strawberry and pressed flower aromas. There is something joyful about these aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. This is very cohesive and poised, a mixture of red and black fruit towards the finish with subtle hints of tobacco and a dash of black pepper on the persistent aftertaste. Excellent. 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.
