Nuits-Saint-Georges
1er Cru Les Perrières
Nuits-Saint-Georges is one of those magical names that visitors recite like a rosary. Known the whole world over,
Nuits-Saint-Georges has the original profile of a genuine wine village, but on the scale of a small town.
Origin
Halfway between Dijon and Beaune, and with an easterly exposure, the vineyards of Nuits-Saint-Georges extend over 6 kilometres, with 140 hectares of Premier Cru vines. The range of soils, exposure and locations here creates a great diversity of terroirs. The area is bisected by the valley of the small Meuzin river, and the village itself.
The plot 'Les Perrières' is a locality where stone was once mined. A perrière is synonymous with a career.
