Tasting Notes

90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 05
Bright full red. Captivating perfume of spicy berries, orange peel and flowers. Silky, dry and classic, with intense, sharply delineated flavors of red berries and spices. Still a bit tightly wound-perhaps this is already closing down in the bottle-but boasts lovely inner-mouth energy, fine tannins and a lingering 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.
