2001 Hospice de Nuits "Les Didiers" Cuéee Cabet , Charles de Valliére - Nuits St. Georges - 3 Bottles (0.75L)
3x 2001 Hospice de Nuits , Nuits Saint Georges 1°Cru "Les Didiers" Cuvee Cabet Charles de Valliére
Tasting :
The wine has a deep color with dark tones. The aromas of small red fruits and black berries form a dense whole, closely linked to woody notes which introduce nuances of vanilla, blond caramel and coffee. Its generous power supported by a solid tannic structure demonstrates a well-structured wine suitable for good aging. When matured, it develops scents of liquorice, fresh leather and sloe.
Info :
At the end of the 19th century most of the Burgundy communes added the name of the best parcel to theirs. Hence, ¿Saint-Georges¿ was added to the village of Nuits in 1898.
With a modest population of 5,000, Nuit-Saint-Georges boasts numerous Premiers Crus registered under the communal appellation. It is also the most southerly of the côte de Nuits. This covers 318 hectares, 143 of which are classified premiers crus (42 in total) .
The famous Confrérie des Chevaliers de Tastevin was then established in 1934. Due to the growing success of the chevaliers' meetings, the Confrérie moved to the Château du Clos-Vougeot. Nuits also has a civil hospice that was founded at the end of the 17th century. An auction is held there every year on the Sunday before Palm Sunday. This auction, which has less publicity than the one at the Beaune Hospice, sells wine produced at the hospices (from donations) , which comes mostly from the commune's premiers crus.
The Nuits Saint-Geroges climats bear witness to centuries of history that have unfolded here, like Saint-Georges, which were believed to have had vines as early as the year 1000, or the robust wines from Vaucrains, Cailles, Champs-Perdrix and Porets, or the Clos from Maréchale, Argillières, Forêts-Saint-Georges, Corvées and Arlot, in the commune of Premeaux.
Produced from brown limestone and clay soil, the red wines from Nuits-Saint-Georges are generally dark and intense in colour. Powerful, complex and well-balanced, their aromas are a mixture of cherry, blackcurrant, truffle and often spices. High in alcohol, these wines are sappy, well-structured and velvety on the palate. Particularly robust, but round at the same time, they are perfect for a long cellaring.
