Joseph Drouhin - Nuits-Saint-Georges - 375ml | French Red Wine

Nuits-Saint-Georges is a monovarietal Pinot Noir red wine from the appellation of Nuits-Saint-Georges, produced by Joseph Drouhin.

The wine's appellation is elongated, with two different sections, north and south, separated by a little stream that crosses the town. The hillside is quite steep, but the vineyards have an excellent east exposure. This is an emblematic wine closely linked to the gastronomy of Burgundy. Great chefs, such as Escoffier, and Brillat-Savarin (the famous cook-book writer), have praised these wines very highly. The soil has outcroppings of hard chalk in many places. The northern part of Nuits, close to Vosne, produces wines of great finesse. The southern part, with its rockier soil, gives powerful and long lasting wines.
