Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 01
Deep ruby-red. Pure, lively aromas of blackberry, cassis and licorice. Pristine and fine in the mouth, but still rather closed in on itself. Brisk acidity frames and lengthens the intense fruit. Finishes with firm but fine tannins and excellent persistenc

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.
