Nuits Saint Georges Wines

Nuits Saint Georges Wines
The wind in Nuits-Saint-Georges carries the endless fragrance of the green-covered slopes, as well as the cheerful countryside chatter of the townsfolk. Everything about this place exudes a nostalgic aura, a feeling of proximity to a bygone age, in spirit if nothing else. Towards the north, you find elegant, fruit-forward wines, almost intoxicating from the smell alone. Towards the south, rich and thunderous bottles brimming with aging potential. Centuries of winemaking excellence have propelled the region to an influential and revered position on the market, not unlike its neighbor Vosne-Romanée. If you have any plans to visit Burgundy, this is one town you don’t want to skip.
The region contains forty premier crus, and it can be hard to find readily available bottles, as their demand slowly increases, along with their popularity. For the entrepreneurial wine lover, a place like this is a goldmine. Whenever Burgundy’s reputable subregions are discussed in detail, comparisons are always made to this appellation. The reds are powerful, striking, intense on the attack, and complex when their textures are examined. Notes of game, truffle, leather, and earth complement the standard (but not mundane) berry-infused composition perfectly, creating a balanced and rich drinking experience. The whites of Nuits-Saint-Georges are firm, elegant, and refreshing, with strong notes of white flower, honey, and brioche.
Once the wine is opened, it’s incredibly hard to stop. It stimulates both the palate and the mind, with each sip beckoning the next until you’re left surprised that an hour has gone by without you noticing. Get in while you still can!
