Grape varietalsThe Pinot Noir is the only grape variety used for the Nuits-Saint-Georges.
OriginsIn the heart of the Côte de Nuits, between Beaune and Dijon, Nuits-Saint-Georges is actually divided in two different parts; the northern part in the direction of Vosne Romanée to the Serrée valley which is mainly made of hills, and the southern part extending to Prémeaux which is a much flatter zone. This vineyard stretches on 300 hectares with an average production of 15 000 hl per harvest.
Tasting notesColour: a deep ruby red color with violet highlights.
Nose: powerful and rich with notes of spices mixed with aromas of small red fruits.
Palate: the mouth is round, rich, and complex with very present and distinguished tannins. It blends aromas of black fruit and offers a subtle oaky finish.
Food and wine pairingServe this great red Burgundy with a haunch of venison, duck meat, and with roasted red meats or red meats in sauce. At the end of a meal, try it with Coulommiers cheese followed by a black cherry pie.
