Appellations
Village · Côte de Nuits
Nuits-Saint-Georges
red · 300
The commercial capital of the Côte de Nuits, with forty premiers crus and no grand cru.
Under the vines
Two halves: finer ground north towards Vosne, deeper and more ferruginous south towards Premeaux.
In the glass
Depends entirely on which half. As a style description the name is close to meaningless.
Why it sits here
Includes the wine of neighbouring Premeaux-Prissey, which has no appellation of its own.
Commonly misread
That it is rustic. That reputation belongs to an era of late picking and heavy extraction, and has been revised.
