Faiveley- Nuits Saint Georges “Les Saints Georges” 2018

The Faiveley family has run the family estate since 1825. In 2005, Erwan Faiveley took over from his father at the helm of the estate, which is one of the largest in Burgundy: 10 hectares of Grands Crus and almost 25 hectares of 1er Crus, including several monopole climats (Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos des Issarts, Beaune 1er Cru Clos de l’Ecu and Clos des Cortons Faiveley Grand Cru). The vineyards are very fragmented, with an average of one hectare per appellation. On the whole, the estate’s wines are dense and fruity.

Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Saint-Georges is one of the oldest climats in the appellation, having been planted in the year 1000. It comes from clay-limestone soil with an easterly exposure. It has notes of spice and ripe fruit, with supple, generous tannins. The wine is elegant and perfectly representative of the reputation of this Premier Cru.
