Nuits Saint-Georges

Antoine Lienhardt
Crafted by a young, instinct-driven grower working with minimal intervention, this Côte de Nuits red shows just how much charm the appellation can offer. The vines sit on classic limestone and clay soils, farmed with real care and picked by hand. Whole-bunch fermentation with wild yeasts, a gentle extraction and ageing in used oak keep everything fresh and honest — no heavy make-up here. Expect juicy red cherry, wild strawberry, a twist of pepper and that lovely silky texture that makes you reach for a second glass. Lovely now with roast poultry or mushrooms, and happy to wait a few years.
