Burgundy
The 2020 season began with a mild, early spring, promoting rapid budbreak and excellent fruit set despite localized frost pressure. Early summer was warm and dry, ensuring healthy canopies and small, concentrated berries. July and August brought sustained heat with limited rainfall, accelerating ripening while preserving remarkable sanitary conditions. The dry late summer favored thick skins and intense phenolic maturity without excessive sugar accumulation. Harvest took place unusually early, delivering Pinot Noir of superb balance: deep color, ripe yet vibrant fruit, firm but refined tannins, and pronounced terroir definition typical of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
Côtes de Nuits, Bourgogne, France
Les Saints Georges is the best terroir of Nuits Saint George. Positioned in the central part of the slope, it has the best exposition Eastern-South-eastern. The geology is a complex mix of iron pigmented silty clay, marl, limestone from the Jurassic, and little rocks that provide heat radiation and helps with peak maturity of the fruits.
