Nuits-Saint-Georges
Les Charbonnières
Nuits-Saint-Georges is one of those magical names that visitors recite like a rosary. Known the whole world over, Nuits-Saint-Georges has the original profile of a genuine wine village, but on the scale of a small town.
Origin
Halfway between Dijon and Beaune, and with an easterly exposure, the vineyards of Nuits-Saint-Georges spread over 6 kilometres, with 160ha of Village-appelation vines. The range of soils, exposure and locations here creates a great diversity of terroirs. The area is bisected by the valley of the Meuzin river, and the village itself.
Les Charbonnières are located at the southern end of the village, where the altitude is a little lower than in the north. The soil consists mainly of marl, combined with sand and pebbles from the top of the slope. Grape maturity is always excellent here.
