"Les Saint-Georges" is considered to be one of the oldest climats in Bourgogne and was planted in the year 1000. It is also thought to be the very best Cru in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Our Domaine is the appellation's smallest producer and, for the last 10 years, we have been working towards being reclassified as a Grand Cru.
Deep ruby red hue. Powerful nose disclosing ripe fruits and warm spicy notes. A smooth, clean attack gives way to a well-balanced palate with rich, smooth tannins. This wine's harmonious structure and elegance perfectly represent this Premier Cru.
Wine Advocate 92-94: The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges unwinds in the glass with notes of dark berries, orange zest, exotic spices and peonies, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and richly layered palate, its generous core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins. Seamless and complete, it's almost the stylistic opposite of the ethereal Damodes.
James Suckling 96-97: Captivating nose of red fruits and bitter chocolate. Mind-blowing concentration and finesse. Easily Grand Cru standard with super-fine tannins and stunning mineral acidity. The finish doesn't want to stop!
Vinous 91-93: The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru is aged in 50% new oak. It has quite a tertiary bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, red cherries becoming the most prominent scent with a touch of forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet entry, quite a plush Les Saint-Georges with a dash of white pepper and allspice.
