Frequently Asked Questions

What is Nuits Saint Georges wine?
Nuits Saint Georges is a red wine appellation located in the Côte de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy, France, and it’s part of the ‘golden hill’ or Côte d’Or. The wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes and is known for its intriguing perfume redolent of black cherries, brown spices and undergrowth. The appellation covers an area of 320 hectares and produces around 1.5 million bottles of wine per year. Nuits-Saint-Georges is a communal appellation or ‘village’ appellation, and producers can label their wines as such as long as the fruit comes from the commune’s vineyards. There are also prestigious plots that have gained the distinction of Premier Cru. To this day, Nuits-Saint-Georges doesn’t have Grand Cru vineyards, but the commune’s quality is still astoundingly high.

What are the most popular Nuits-Saint-Georges wines?
Popular Nuits Saint Georges producers include Domaine Faiveley, Domaine Jean Tardy et Fils, Maison Louis Jadot and Jean-Jacques Confuron. These wines are coveted by collectors worldwide for their exceptional quality, typicity and age-worthiness. However, these producers make wine at all quality levels, so they’re not all expensive.

What are the different types of Nuits-Saint-Georges wine?
There are two main types of Nuits-Saint-Georges wine: red and white. The red wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes and is known for its rich, complex flavours and aromas of dark fruit, earth and spice over a silky palate. The white wine is made from Chardonnay grapes and is known for its crisp acidity and citrus and stone fruit flavours. Sadly, only 3% of the village’s vineyards are planted with Chardonnay, so its white wine is rare. Wines labelled Nuits-Saint-Georges are worthy of any cellar, but the commune’s 41 Premier Crus are on another level. Some of the most popular include Les Saint-Georges itself.

What are the best Nuits-Saint-Georges wines?
The best Nuits-Saint-Georges wines come from the village’s Premier Cru vineyards, but the wines at a commune level are also fantastic. Although all wines are made with Pinot Noir, they’re not all the same, as every producer has its own techniques to express the village’s terroir. Any bottle from Nuits Saint Georges is worth trying.
