Crafted with a deep respect for tradition and terroir. Sourced from old vines in the prestigious Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, this wine beautifully captures the depth and complexity of the region.

On the nose, it opens with captivating aromas of ripe black cherries, wild strawberries, and plums, interwoven with hints of earthy forest floor, violets, and subtle spice. Delicate notes of toasted oak and dried herbs add further layers of complexity. The palate is medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides freshness and elegance. Flavors of dark berries, red currants, and black tea are complemented by nuances of clove, truffle, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and harmonious, showcasing the wine's refined structure and age-worthy potential.

Winemaker Arnaud Baillot, known for his meticulous craftsmanship and dedication to showcasing the essence of Burgundy, ensures that each vintage expresses the true character of the vineyard. The Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes is vinified with minimal intervention to preserve its authenticity and aged in French oak barrels, enhancing its depth and texture without overshadowing the purity of fruit.

This wine pairs beautifully with classic Burgundian dishes such as coq au vin, duck breast with cherry sauce, or beef bourguignon. It also complements hard cheeses and earthy vegetarian dishes like mushroom risotto. While already displaying remarkable depth, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 10–15 years.
