Nuits-Saint-Georges 2020
-
Concentrated and perfectly balanced, our Nuits-Saint-Georges 2020 shows a brilliant ruby color with hints of purple. The lightly smoky nose combines red berries and floral notes, as well as saffron and sweet spices. The palate is full-bodied, round, and smooth with soft and silky tannins. The finish of this perfumed wine is long and resonates with complexity.

The Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation consists of two parts. In the north, its soils are rich in alluvial deposits from the Meuzin valley. In the south, the silty soils come from the Vallerots Valley. The top of the hill has exposed limestone rocks. Born from vines on a clay-rich plot, our Nuits-Saint Georges is at once intense and complex.
