In a few words ...
- A demanding approach: only grapes from the oldest vines are used in the Clos des Forêts Saint Georges cuvée. The aim is to make the most of an exceptional terroir, with older vines producing deeper, more intense wines. As a result, the young vines of this Clos are not included in the grand cuvée. They are vinified separately and marketed under the Les Petits Plets Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru label. - Traditional vinification: hand-picking, minimal vatting, gentle pumping-over... Letting things happen naturally to reveal the soul of the wine is the method adopted to bring the wine to life. - A wine for laying down: the generous terroir of Forêts Saint Georges shapes the soul of this wine. It builds a solid red around the tannins that define a wine for laying down. A few years in the cellar allow it to free itself, and age makes it more graceful, silkier and more accomplished.
Tasting notes
Appearance
Thanks to its assertive personality, the wine perfectly illustrates the identity of the Nuits Saint Georges vineyard.
Aroma
The nose reveals complex aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and spices, with darker notes of liquorice and leather depending on the vintage.
Taste
Well-constructed, the palate is dense and powerful, with a tight structure and rich, well-coated tannins. The seduction that emerges over time comes from the elegance, elegance and elegance of this wine.

La côte de boeuf cuite lentement sur des braises s'impose mais on peut aussi penser à un filet au poivre, un carré d'agneau aux herbes ou un magret de canard aux épices douces.
