NUITS SAINT GEORGES

This blended cuvée comes from four plots on the Vosne-Romanée side of the appellation, and was formerly branded as Vieilles Vignes, as the vines date from between 1904 and 1937. Beautiful clear pink purple, this is wonderfully stylish. Cherries again with excellent grip and tension. Rating: ***** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy  (Aug 2029)

This is our cuvée that draws from a wide range of plots dotted around the Nuits-Saint-Georges ‘village’ appellation, where herbs and trees can be found among the vines – and although these were often singled out as enemies in the past, in reality they are very good accomplices with wonderful qualities. ‘Nuyts’ was the name of our village before it became ‘Nuits’ at the end of the 18th century; and just like other wine villages, it was later assigned another name, that of its best cru – Saint-Georges. And so, @alicemdl helped us to create an attractive bottle to highlight the work – both in-depth and invisible, rooted in our soils – and the beauty of nature, capable of delighting us by breaking up the monotony of vineyards where gardens and orchards have become rare. As descriptive language may seem like just words, and as actions always hold more value, we really needed her artistic soul to allow us to express it better. .GRAPE VARIETY: Pinot Noir AVERAGE AGE OF THE VINES: 85 years.
