Nuits-Saint-Georges, an ancient city which, at one time, had a surrounding wall like Beaune, is the heart and capital of the Côte de Nuits. Its perfect exposure to the east gives the vineyards the capacity to produce splendid wines. The little stream flowing down from the Côte actually cuts this relatively large appellation in two. The Northern part, next to Vosne, produces wines that have the delicacy and finesse of that appellation. South of the stream, the soil is particularly stony and hard, with a type of white, grey, which you can actually see from the main road. These vineyards produce a firmer, more austere wine which takes longer to mature.

The 2005 Nuits-St-Georges offers a deep red color. The aromas are powerful and elegant, with notes of cherry and blackberry, as well as hints of cedar wood. On the palate, beautiful balance between structure and softness. The long aftertaste is reminiscent of fruit syrups and mild spices.
