Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges
The aromatic range plays on black fruits, blueberry, blackberry, spices mixed with more animal notes of musk and fur, especially on slightly evolved vintages. It is a powerful and complex wine with a nice structure that allows it to face the years without fear.
