Nuits-Saint-Georges

The Nuits-Saint-Georges 2016 will perfectly pair with roasted lamb, roastbeef or dishes with duck or pork.

Our vineyards producing our Nuits-Saint-Georges are located in the climats « Au Bas de Combe » and « Aux Barrières ». Au bas de Combe is one of climat the most renowned with its style of Vosne-Romanée and for its quality. . Total area: 1,16 hectares, 2 plots (2,86 acres) planted in 1937 and 1944. Climat & Soil : Climats are located in North of Nuits-Saint-Georges before the climats of Vosne-Romanée. The soil is composed by limestone and clay with clay predominance.

After maceration, free and press wines are separated for aging. Aging process is taking place 100% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barrels during 15 months with 30% of new barrels.

To preserve their integrity, grapes are carefully harvested and sorted out by hand. Before beginning the alcoholic fermentation we make a cold pre-fermentation during 4 to 6 days to work on the phelonic component's exctraction. Then full maceration lasts for 15 days during which we'll use only pigeages (punching the cap). Intensity and numbers are lead to the concentration of tannins, perfumes and colour. Alcoholic fermentation is realized with natural yeasts.
