Vinous Neal Martin - 30 Oct 24
The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Roncière 1er Cru has a cohesive nose. It offers black cherries, blueberries and light violet scents, perhaps the best fruit in this flight. There's a little more delineation here. The palate is medium-bodied with finer tannins than its peers. It has black fruit laced with tobacco and white pepper. The finish is grippy and assertive, but it coped with the heat better than its peers. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

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.
