Description:

Nuits-Saint-Georges, in Bourgogne, is the capital of the Côte de Nuits, world-renowned for its exceptional red wines. The soils are composed mainly of limestone and marl, and their perfect eastern exposure produces exceptional wines.

The grapes are hand-picked into small crates to preserve the integrity of the fruit, then carefully hand-sorted and destemmed. They macerate in stainless steel vats for 3 to 4 weeks, with the vats pumped over twice daily during fermentation. Ageing lasts around 15 months in oak barrels.

With its deep, intense ruby colour, our Nuits-Saint-Georges offers a spicy nose combining clove, nutmeg, black cherry, and toasty notes. The palate is full-bodied, with cherry and liquorice aromas, silky tannins, and a fresh finish.

Food & wine: red meats, roast lamb, duck, small game, roast vegetables, stew, and of course truffle dishes.

Ageing potential: 10–15 years.

Serve between 15 and 17°C.
