Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Les Crots"

Situation

Côte de Nuits

Level

AOC Premier Cru

Grape variety

Pinot noir

Nuits-Saint-Georges gave its name to the Côte de Nuits and is almost exclusively devoted to the production of red Pinot Noir wines. The appellation stretches across 2 communes - Nuits-Saint-Georges and Prémeaux-Prissey. Differences in terms of exposure and soil profiles in the vineyards in the south and north of the appellation result in wines that are very diverse.
The "Les Crots" Climat is located in the southern part of the commune of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Its name, a dialectal variant of "creux" (hollow) refers to the relief of this very steep slope whose contour forms a significant hollow.

Tasting

The nose exudes intense notes of red fruit (cherry, strawberry, raspberry...), spices and tobacco. This wine is generous and full bodied on the palate, boasting good balance, structure and scrumptiousness. The finish is long and intensely aromatic.
