Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 14
Bright medium red. Attractive floral lift to the aromas of red berries, herbs and pepper. Juicy and spicy on entry, then a bit lean and dry in the middle, but with plenty of red fruit and spice flavors. Good energy here but the finish features dusty, slightly drying tannins and a suggestion of greenness.

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.
