Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru, “Aux Argillas”

A tiny parcel of just 0.17 hectares on the northern slopes of the appellation; soils are laced with clay and the vines have an excellent south/southeast exposure which insures proper ripening; planted to somewhat younger vines around 23 years average, the wine from Argillas is marked by excellent balance and purity of flavor with dominant notes of cherry and licorice married to an underlying earthiness – a classic rendition of the appellation. Only two barrels are produced annually.
