Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
Regarded as the leading vineyard in Nuits, and certainly worthy of Grand Cru status, Les St Georges sits on brown clay soils that are peppered with small stones, ensuring good drainage. Faiveley own a quarter of a hectare in the south-east corner of the vineyard, and this is supplemented with fruit purchased from a vigneron with holdings at the northern end. Intense black cherry and forest fruit aromas are flecked with hints of violet and a wild-herb savouriness, giving immediate appeal. The palate is powerfully concentrated with seductive, polished tannins, blood orange acidity and a certain saline minerality. Complex notes of pepper and savoury smoke are revealed on the long, persistent finish. A wine to sip, savour and linger over.
Region
Nuits Saint Georges
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.
