Nuits Saint Georges Premier Cru 2022
« Les Vaucrains »
Tasting notes
A noble and racy wine, of great complexity and aromatic depth due to its natural concentration. This wine’s tight, fine and sapid tannins, as well as the fulness of its body and its generosity, are supported by a full and strong mouth structure.
The Vineyard
Located in the southern part of the appellation, just above the Saint-Georges, the « Les Vaucrains » Climat is one of the greatest Premiers Crus of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. Its high position on the hillside and its subsoil composed of red clay give this wine its structured character, great intensity and exceptional ageing potential.
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.
