- Vineyard notes: "In Burgundy the monopoly (single estate vineyard) defines a unit of land, a terroir which has been perfectly defined for centuries and which is owned by a single proprietor. The Clos des Forêts Saint Georges covers a surface of 7.2 hectares, all in one piece. It is a unique terroir in a privileged location which right from its origin has made one of the greatest Nuits Saint Georges wines. The Clos des Forêts Saint Georges covers the entire geological range of the slopes of Nuits Saint Georges: Ladoix limestone at the bottom, Premeaux limestone in the middle, and white oolite limestone in the upper part, with a marked presence of ochre silt in some places. This Clos is planted entirely to Pinot Noir."

About the Product

Region or Appellation: Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos des Forets Saint-Georges

Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru / Nuits-Saint-Georges / Cote de Nuits / Burgundy / France
Classification: Premier Cru
Producer Notes: With its well-defined character, this wine perfectly illustrates the identity of the Nuits Saint Georges vineyard. Complex aromas of blackcurrant mingled with spicy blackberry are revealed on the nose with, depending on the vintage, darker notes of liquorice, leather and blood orange. The well-built mouth affirms itself with density and strength around a tight structure with rich, well-wrapped tannins. It becomes increasingly seductive over time, which comes from the elegance, intensity and purity of the fruit.
Drinking Window: 2004-2012

Vintage Notes: Particularly cold weather at the beginning of winter, quite a dry spring and summer, then hot weather and storms at the end of August. The weather turned fine on September 10th and lasted until harvesting.

Read more
Harvest Notes: Lovely dry weather, good for ripeness. It was an ideal harvest, which took place from September 16th to 22nd.
Winemaking: Traditional vinification: A manual harvest, minimal vatting, pumping over and punching down without excess to reveal the full aromatic range drawn from this great terroir.

Ageing: Ageing lasts on average 15 months in oak barrels, with a maximum of 50% new barrels, and 3 months in vats before bottling.

Vintage quality: Excellent

Current condition: Ready to drink

For Burgundy, 2002 was another success in a string of winning years.

A cool winter and spring caused uneven flowering and a touch of millerandage which reduced yields. The summer was also cool and grey, eventually cheering up into a warm with July and August mostly ...
