Presentation
Nuits-Saint-Georges, the village in which our head office is located, has a great deal of importance for us. The southern gateway to the great Côte de Nuits villages, Nuits-Saint-Georges produces wines that are extremely diverse. The terroirs north of the village, near Vosne-Romanée, are composed of deeper, clayey soils. They yield wines that are both generous and structured. The terroirs to the south are very stony, as testified to by the many quarries nearby. Here the wines are mineral, lively and bold. A good Nuits-Saint-Georges should integrate this duality that lends it its unique character and magnificent ageing potential.
Terroir
Nuits-Saint-Georges is an iconic appellation in Burgundy. Its wines were even prescribed for Louis XIV in 1693 as a remedy for his ailments. The three plots for our cuvée are located at the foot of the slope, both north and south of the village, where the limestone soil is mixed with clay and marl. The typicity of the soil lends both finesse and minerality to the blend as well as power and richness. The vines’ southeastern exposure is ideal for optimal ripening of the grapes.
Winemaking
Our Nuits-Saint-Georges cuvée was crafted from a blend of wines hailing from different plots, all of which were vinified and aged separately. The grapes were handpicked and carefully sorted in the vineyards so that only the finest grapes were selected. For this 2022 vintage, the grapes were completely destemmed. Vinification was punctuated by daily pump-overs and a few punch-downs. The wines are aged in oak barrels (35% new oak from the forests of Central France) for 16 months.

Tasting
Pretty carmine red colour. The nose is intense, expressing notes of small red berries (raspberry) and spring flowers, lifted by nuances of smoke and flint. More sauvage hints of juniper berry and black tea emerge, complemented by subtle notes of sugared almond and coffee. The palate opens with an ample and energetic attack, both supple and fresh, combining a silky texture with a more angular structure. It beautifully illustrates the duality of Nuits-Saint-Georges wines, between softness and minerality. The finish lingers on nuances of tobacco and cocoa powder. A fine expression of the appellation, true to its character.
Food pairings
Ideal with a veal chop and a strong jus.
