The core of the fruit for this exceptional Premier Cru south of the town comes from their own vineyard, but they also purchase grapes from a neighbour. A radiant brick red colour. Loganberry and Black Forest gâteau fragrance. A charming and polished Les St Georges, focusing more on grace and finesse than muscle this year. Very fine, with a long poised and composed finish.

More moderate wood influence is present on the equally ripe yet cool aromas of various spice elements, red currant and wild cherry. The mouthfeel of the bigger-bodied flavors is also quite sleek while displaying good detail and focused power on the youthfully austere and notably firmer finale. This too is lovely though as is usually the case with LSG, a wine that's going to require at least moderate patience. Drinking 2034+
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.
