Nuits-Saint-Georges "Vieilles Vignes" 2023

Description

The Nuits-Saint-Georges “Vieilles Vignes” from Domaine Gilbert et Christine Felettig is made from selected plots located in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation area. The old, deeply rooted vines allow for a precise expression of the terroir and bring concentration, complexity, and consistency to the wine. This Pinot Noir embodies the traditional, distinguished style of the great red wines of the Côte de Nuits.

The Vieilles Vignes designation indicates a mature vineyard capable of producing low-yield grapes with intense aromas. The estate practices careful viticulture that respects the natural balance of the environment in order to preserve the purity of the fruit and the typical characteristics of the soil. The grapes are harvested by hand and rigorously sorted to select only the highest quality berries.

The vinification process is carried out with precision, favoring controlled extraction to respect the natural finesse of Pinot Noir while revealing the structure specific to Nuits-Saint-Georges. The careful and harmonious aging process allows the wine to gain depth without masking the expression of the terroir. The bouquet opens with aromas of red and black fruits, mingled with spicy and slightly woody notes. On the palate, the texture is dense, balanced by a beautiful freshness, with fine tannins and a long, persistent finish.

This Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes is a wine for aging, capable of developing favorably over the years toward more complex notes of undergrowth, leather, and spices. An ideal cuvée for lovers of authentic Burgundy, it is powerful, elegant, and deeply territorial.
