RATINGS

90Stephen Tanzer

Subtly complex, tangy aromas of dark berries, minerals and licorice. Bright, spicy and firmly built, with intense, ripe flavors of dark berries and minerals. Finishes with firm but broad tannins and subtle persistence.

Classy and stylish with a nose of intense red pinot fruit and that Nuits sauvage character that can be quite beguiling when delivered in just the right amount. Powerful earthy fruit flavors and ripe round tannins...

Les Saint-Georges is a 18.7-acre Premier Cru vineyard in Nuits-Saints-Georges, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is in the southern part of of the appellation.

Burgundy writer Clive Coates calls this vineyard part of the “greatest climat in Nuits-Saint-Georges.” The vineyard is 245 – 260 meters in elevation with an excellent stony, soil that drains well. Coates calls Les Saint-Georges “the best wine of the commune. It is simply the most complete, the most complex, and the most profound.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
