The small town of Nuits-Saint-Georges is one of the two largest communes in the Côte de Nuits and is famous for its tannic, age-worthy Pinot Noirs. The calcareous, stony soils impart aromas of blackcurrant, leather, and licorice to the wines. The wines are powerful and structured. The continental climate and traditional vinification methods, including extended maceration, contribute to their distinctive character.
Pinot Noir from Burgundy is considered the king of red wines: delicate, yet profoundly complex. The chalky soils and cool climate produce wines characterized by red berries, violets, undergrowth, and a subtle spiciness. Whether from the Côte de Nuits (powerful, long-lived) or the Côte de Beaune (elegant, silky), Burgundy Pinot Noir enchants with its finesse, silky tannins, and unforgettable length.
