Description
Nuits-Saint-Georges is the most southerly located village of the Côte de Nuits, to which the city gave its name and constitutes the other half of the Côte d’Or. The commune produces almost exclusively red wines, however there is a limited production of whites. The Nuits-Saint-Georges red wines are robust and elegant. They require some years of aging to reflect the finest expressions of the Pinot Noir. The name of Nuits-Saint-Georges is known worldwide, Apollo XV carried this wine into space and even gave its name to a lunar crater.
The Nuits-Saint-Georges has a dark, garnet-red colour. Its nose is intense, with blackcurrant and clove aromas. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and seductive, again revealing notes of blackcurrant accompanied by aromas of mocha. The tannins are invigorating yet elegant. Very nice length.
