PRESENTATION
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.
VINIFICATION/AGEING
Handpicking, sorting of the grapes at the winery.
Fermenting maceration in thermoregulated wooden vats for 18 to 21
days.
Aging in oak barrels (25 to 35% new barrels) for 14 to 16 months.
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.

Serve at 15-16°C (59-61°F).
Aging potential: 5 to 7 years and more.
