Wine Caracteristics

The Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation produces red wines made from the Pinot Noir grape variety and white wines from Chardonnay. The red wines have a dark color in their youth, with a nose featuring aromas of cherry and blackcurrant. As they mature, the bouquet develops and often offers notes of truffle, leather, and game. These are full-bodied wines with a balanced structure, revealing their potential after a few years of aging.

The white wines, produced in small quantities, are recognizable by their white flower aromas and their lovely golden color.
