Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 08 Oct 25
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains 1er Cru has a light nose with brambly black fruit, loamy touches of damp undergrowth emerging with time and, after ten minutes, dried violet petals. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins. Vibrant and tensile, though a little leaner towards the finish due to the vintage, this is fresh and sapid but perhaps more for earlier drinking. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

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.
