DOMAINE GEORGES NOELLAT NUITS-SAINT-GEORGEs 1ER CRU 'LES ST GEORGES' 2022

Les Saint Georges occupies the midslope of Nuits-St.-Georges' southern flank on brown clay and limestone—a premier cru so widely regarded that many argue it deserves grand cru classification. Maxime Cheurlin farms this sustainably managed parcel of 50-plus-year-old vines with 25% whole cluster, ambient yeast fermentation, and aging in 50% new oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. The combination of old vine density, classic Nuits structure, and Cheurlin's infusion-driven vinification yields a wine of uncommon depth and precision for the appellation's most celebrated lieu-dit.
