Nuits-Saint-Georges 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Nuits-Saint-Georges is a large appellation in the Côte de Nuits surrounding the town of the same name. Soils are varied and typically feature unique blue-grey clay and marl. The wines are typically full and chewy with substantial tannic structure which bodes well for aging. This village level wine is sourced from several locations and blended to best represent the Nuits-St-Georges full-bodied style. All fruit is hand harvested, destemmed, and fermented with natural yeasts.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
This is a full-bodied and robust red wine. Initial aromas of damp earth and leafy underbrush quickly give way to deep red fruit and spice notes. The structure is imposing and becomes more open with aeration.
