The North & South of Nuits-Saint-Georges

It’s a name we all know: Nuits-Saint-Georges. One of the most recognizable villages in the Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges is home to 41 premier cru vineyards, but no grands crus. The village and its wines are often broadly classified as irony, with firm tannins and a dark fruit character that, in difficult vintages, can border on austerity. And yet, there is a danger in oversimplifying this diverse village.
