Nuits-Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges includes some of the most distinguished Premier Cru vineyards in Burgundy. Part of the long, narrow Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges offers world-class examples of Pinot Noir wines

.

Even within this small appellation, with just some 700 acres of vineyards, Nuits-Saint-Georges wines vary in style depending on where they are grown. Those produced under the village label are elegant, with soft tannins. Those from the 41 Premier Cru vineyards around the town are typically more full-bodied, with firm tannins and concentrated fruit flavors that develop notes of smoke and earth with age. Those from the northernmost end of Nuits-Saint-Georges are similar in quality to the red wines from neighboring Vosne-Romanée, offering good value compared to the wines of that vaunted appellation. Nuits-Saint-Georges wines are a fine pairing with braised entrees, pork and game dishes.
