Nuits-Saint-Georges

Terroir

The ultra cuvee of Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier cru « La Richemone » comes from the most southern part of the plot which was planted in 1902. This plot shows a unique plant capital as well as a rare soil, consisting of both gravel which ensures perfect drainage and rooting depth and of a clay-limestone soil. The richness of this soil gives a a rounded wine of great freshness revealing aromas of spices and silky tannins. The other part of the plot with more stones gives the wine good mineral content and a lot of aroma.
Both wines express the epitome and the authenticity of their terroir. They are the result of accurate work based on the empirical observation of the soils and of the instinct of a passionate winemaker.
