Nuits-Saint-Georges
The Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation is a communal appellation in the Côte de Nuits, Côte d'Or. Since its creation in 1936, the appellation has covered the communes of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Premeaux-Prissey. The vineyard is divided into two parts, one from Vosne-Romanée to the Combe de la Serrée, the other towards the Midi. As a result, nuances emerge among the wines. In addition, the Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru appellation has been awarded to 41 recognized climats within the communal appellation, covering an area of 140 hectares and producing around half of all Nuits-Saint-Georges wines.

In the northern part of the appellation, the soils are composed of silt and gravel from the Côte and alluvial deposits from the Meuzin valley, when they are not on the upper slopes. In the southern part, the lower silts come from the combe des Vallerots (deep soil, marl-limestone), while the top of the hillside caresses the rock. Most exposure is to the east or southeast.

Nuits-Saint-Georges and Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru red wines, made almost exclusively from Pinot grapes, are almost always intense and dark in color. Their aromas are powerful and complex, combining cherry, blackcurrant, fur, truffle and often spices. They are among the most tannic in Burgundy. The harmony of tannin and roundness makes for solid, full-bodied wines. The production of white wines, made from Chardonnay, is almost anecdotal.

In addition to the quality of the terroir, the reputation of the Nuits-Saint-Georges and Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru appellations is founded on the great estates such as Domaine des Perdrix, Dominique Laurent, Faiveley, Joseph Drouhin, Méo-Camuzet and Maison Bouchard Père et Fils.

(2020 vintage notes)

1er cru

"A 1er Cru for laying down, made to accompany fine game".

A tribute to the estate's history! It is made from the oldest vines planted in 1922, representing a surface area of 8 ouvrées (the name of the unit of measurement used for vines in Burgundy). Airy and slender, the palate reveals fresh red berries such as redcurrant.

"A treasure trove of red fruits to be cellared!"

"Slightly crimson color. A bouquet of tangy dark red fruits and a lovely salty note reminiscent of Nuits pepper. Firm and pure, the tannins are so fine you hardly notice them as they shape the fruit. Dry, greedy and perfectly balanced". (Jancis Robinson 2023).

1er cru

"All the greatness of Burgundy Pinot Noir".

"This wine is a perfect example of Nuits premier cru, with its relatively deep ruby color and pronounced aromas of blackcurrant and currant, with a hint of rose petals and a little smoke. The texture is supple and rather dense, with a long finish. This site north of the village, with octogenarian vines planted in clay soils, is subject to the windy influence of the combe, producing a classic Nuits profile." (Decanter 2022)

"Sublime!"

"This wine receives special attention from Delaunay, and it delivers well on its promise, with a medium to deep garnet color, and pronounced blackberry fruit with smoky, mineral notes. The texture is tannic, but nothing rustic here, just exceptional fruit purity and length. It is blended from grapes purchased from Belle Croix, Les Longecourts and Aux Allots. In abundant years, the house often downgrades some of the premier cru barrels, but in 2021, it presents itself independently and quite effectively." (Decanter 2023)

"Superb Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru!"

"The 2014 Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru les Vaucrains has an elegant bouquet with scents of red cherry, strawberry and cold stone that are beautifully defined. The palate is ripe and sensual from the outset, with well-marked acidity. The tannins truly express the auspicious nature of Vaucrains, bringing impressive detail and precision to the long, sustained finish. Superb" (Wine Advocate 2015)

The color is a deep, dark ruby. The wine exhales aromas of sun-kissed fruit and fine woody notes. The palate is generous and ripe, with well-melted tannins. The woodiness is discreet, blending pleasantly with the fruitiness to produce a wine of great elegance.

"In its fiefdom, the domaine demonstrates its ability to bring out the best in terroirs located in the village appellation. This 2017 displays pleasant, subtle fruity notes enhanced by sweet spices. Dense on the palate, with a hint of austerity on the finish that will develop a patina over time". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020).
