A discreet touch of wood still allows the light spiced purple fruit aromas to shine. There is fine richness and excellent mid-palate ripeness and concentration to the medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a long, complex and quite serious finish. This is a Vosne/Nuits hybrid as the Vosne influence is clear on the nose but the structure and robustness is distinctly Nuits.Drink: 2020+
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
