Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 19
The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Longecourts is 100% whole clusters, aged in 50% new oak. It has an intriguing bouquet of mulberry, bay leaf and touches of meat juice, slightly Chambolle in style. The palate is medium-bodied and quite fresh in the mouth, showing grippy tannin, good depth and touches of black olive on the finish. This may deserve a higher score down the line.

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.
