Nuits-Saint-Georges

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 Nuits-Saint-Georges village appellation covers a surface area of 405 acres. Differences in exposure and the soil types found in the vineyards in the southern and northern parts of the appellation yield diversity in the wines.

Tasting

Deep nose featuring notes of red and black fruit (raspberry, strawberry, blackcurrant...) mingle with scents of forest undergrowth and mushroom. On the palate, this fleshy, robust wine is perfectly balanced by its imposing yet elegant structure. The finish is long and intensely fragrant, evocative of red fruit and spicy notes.

Taste this wine with roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, duck, game), or with medium to mature cheeses.
