Nuits-Saint-Georges Blanc 2022
« Aux Croix Rouges »
Tasting notes
This wine, product of pinot blanc, is tensed and precise, as well as fresh. In its youth, its character might be down to earth and reserved, a few years in the cellar will allow this varietal to reveal its great complexity and aromatic intensity.
The Vineyard
In the north of the appellation, at the foot of the hill, our pinot blanc vines were planted, 30 years ago, on very clayey grounds with a high content of silt and gravel. The terroir gives this exceptional wine – Nuits Saint Georges, is one of Burgundy’s few appellations to allow the production of 100% pinot blanc – its cool, earthy and reserved character.
The Vintage
2022 is synonymous with a vintage of great quality and the return of satisfying volumes. After a mild and dry winter, the growing season arrived early. Spared by the April frost, the warm spring accelerated plant growth, favoring early flowering and optimal fruit set. After particularly dry spells during winter and spring, late June rains were timely. A hot, dry and at times scorching summer allowed for a good ripening, although in places the vines did react to hydric stress. Mid-August rainfall will be decisive by constant sunshine until the harvests, which started on 25th August in the Côte de Beaune and 2nd September in the Côte de Nuits.
