Pinot noir
Nuits-Saint-Georges has given its name to the Côte de Nuits and is almost exclusively dedicated to the production of red wines made from the Pinot Noir grape. Our vineyards are located to the south and west of the commune. Depending on the area, the vines may be planted on a considerably steep slope or in deeper soils with a higher proportion of clay.
Tasting
The nose features aromas of forest undergrowth and mushroom as well as notes of red berries, light tobacco and cocoa. The palate is robust but has harmonious balance. The finish is long and intensely aromatic.
