Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges - cuvée George Faiveley
Domaine des Hospices de Nuits-Saint-Georges
Albert Bichot’s view
This prestigious cru gave its name to the town of Nuits. It is above all a singular soil, rocky, stony, draining, composed of various Bathonian pebbles. The Georges Faiveley cuvée is made from vines that are 70-year old.
This top-level cuvée from the Hospices de Nuits estate displays the typicity of the greatest Bourgogne wines: a slightly closed nose, but concentrated and promising with dark fruits and black currants. The same level of density and complexity extends on the palate, with an extraordinary, powerful yet well-balanced body. A real gem!
Food pairings
Herb-roasted guinea fowl, beef bourguignon, mushroom and parmesan risotto.

Vinification and aging
This Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges – Cuvée Georges Faiveley has been skilfully vinified by the Domaine des Hospices de Nuits-Saint-Georges. Sold every year at the Hospices auction on the 2d Sunday in March following harvest, Albert Bichot regularly buys this great wine on behalf of clients who then entrust us with its ageing in our cellars. During this important time, thanks to meticulous work and the custom blend of a variety of barrels, we further develop its complexity and potential.
