Wines under the the Nuits-St-Georges appellation are the most robust, full-bodied, and strong in tannins of all Côtes de Nuits wines. They are usually ready to drink about four or five years after being bottled, and will age perfectly for about 10 years. They are full and firm with a deep, intense color. Their aromas are rich and complex, suggestive of cherries, black currants, animal pelts, and truffles. Their high tannin content provides them with a very firm structure, and the harmonious interplay between the tannins and the inherently rounded nature of these wines makes them full-bodied and solid.
