(from a 1.12 ha parcel of 75+ year old vines). A spicy, cool, pure and wonderfully airy nose of purple and dark berry fruit gives way to rich, dense and seductively textured flavors that brim with dry extract that buffers the otherwise firm tannins on the mineral-inflected, long and classy finish. This is a focused and intense wine of style and grace that should amply reward long-term cellaring. 2025+.
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.
