Nuits-Saint-Georges
Altough Burgundy’s Nuits-Saint-Georges does not technically have a Grand Cru vineyard to its name, this fact is a gift to us, and to you. Why? Because the commune’s most revered Premier Cru vineyards, such as Les-Saint-Georges, surely could be (and may be in the not-too-distant future). Without the official recognition, the wines sell for half of what they deserve. That makes NSG one of the best places to find value in Burgundy, especially at the single-vineyard level.
Some of our favorite wines from the village include the superlative selections from Faiveley. Though not originally known for their immediate approachability, the current generation shifted ever-so-slightly towards youthful enjoyment and softer tannins without compromising the ageability.
We also stock selections from cult favorite Forey, who crafts charming wines up and down the line, and Jérôme Chezeaux, whose character-filled reds are thrilling and mineral. Discover old friends and new favorites during our three-day sale.

William Kelley-Wine Advocate 92-94 points “Aromas of cassis, plums, orange rind and spicy new oak preface Faiveley’s 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes, a medium to full-bodied, deep and lively wine with a concentrated core of fruit, framed by powdery tannins. Concluding with a long, mineral finish, it’s another fine bottling from this cool, high-altitude and northeast-exposed site.”

Wine Spectator 92 points “Aromas of spearmint and cinnamon accent the core flavors of black cherry and blackberry in this firm red, which is more linear on the finish, where dark fruit mingles with oak spice and mineral elements. The tannins are a touch dry in the end. Best from 2025 through 2040.”

Neal Martin-Vinous 93-95 points “The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru is an equal blend from Faiveley’s own vines and contract growers, plus a barrel from the Hospices de Nuits. It has a very perfumed and floral bouquet of red berry fruit complemented by wilted violets and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate offers crunchy red berry fruit laced with balsamic. Quite energetic and well defined toward the harmonious finish, which leaves a tang of white pepper on the aftertaste. This is a superb Les Saint-Georges.”

Domaine Forey Pere et Fils Les Perrieres, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $124.50, that’s $118.28 at 5% off and $112.05 at 10% off, 2 bottles in stock now
Burghound 90-93 points “A top note of herbal tea is present on the very fresh aromas of red cherry, newly turned earth and violet. There is again excellent richness to the generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors that flash even more evident minerality on the long, balanced and relatively refined finale. (Drink starting 2029).”

Jerome Chezeaux Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017 750ml Displayed Price: $59, that’s $56.05 at 5% off and $53.10 at 10% off, 9 bottles in stock now
Importer Note “Chezeaux’s holdings of villages-level Nuits-Saint-Georges encompass 3.3 hectares spread throughout the appellation, with a significant proportion from the vineyards of Aux Saint Julien and Chaliots. In keeping with the spirit of the underlying terroir, this is wilder in character than the Vosne-Romanée, marked by notes of iron, and with a rambunctious bent to its tannins. Never deficient in fruit, it offers plenty of earth and sous-bois elements as well, all in a driving fashion.”

Jerome Chezeaux Les Prulieres, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $128, that’s $121.60 at 5% off and $115.20 at 10% off, 3 bottles in stock now
Importer Note “The smallest-production premier cru in Chezeaux’s cellar, Les Pruliers lies near the border of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Premeaux-Prissey in the southern part of the appellation. Jerome works a mere tenth of a hectare here: a parcel of extremely old vines that produce a wine of warmth and generosity. More full-bodied than the Rue de Chaux above, its fruit is pitched toward the black, and, while not heavy-handed in the slightest, it emphasizes robustness over sleekness.”

Jerome Chezeaux Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Saints-Juliens 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $64.50, that’s $61.28 at 5% off and $58.05 at 10% off, 10 bottles in stock now
Importer Note “For the first time, Jerome and Lyse in 2020 separately vinified and bottled their parcel in Aux Saint-Juliens, a lieu-dit nestled against the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges itself along its northern edge. These 1987-planted vines produce a wine, as with the Charbonnieres, more thickly fruited than the basic Nuits-Saint-Georges bottling, but an underlying sense of salinity here, along with starker and less buffered tannins, gives it a more linear and penetrating personality.”

Jerome Chezeaux Les Vaucrains, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru 2021 750ml Displayed Price: $138, that’s $131.10 at 5% off and $124.20 at 10% off, 3 bottles in stock now
Importer Note “Nuits-Saint-Georges famously possesses no grand cru vineyards, but Les Vaucrains is widely considered one in all but name. Always the most complete of Chezeaux’s premier crus, Vaucrains rumbles with tension—an authoritative wine that exudes an impression of depth and solidity. Here, the fruit, mineral, and savory elements bind together more tightly, more seamlessly. Jérôme owns just over a quarter-hectare of east-facing vines in Vaucrains, and his conservative oak regimen—never more than one-third of the barrels are new—highlights the power of the terroir itself.”

Arriving in June:
Gaja Ca’Marcanda ‘Camarcanda’ Bolgheri, Tuscany 2021 750ml $229 pre-arrival special, 12 bottles available
Antonio Galloni-Vinous 97 points “The 2021 Camarcanda is a fabulous wine from the Gaja family the best they have ever made at their Bolgheri property. The wines here have been through some ups and downs but there seems to be greater focus over these last few years. Silky aromatic and wonderfully pure the 2021 Camarcanda offers a super contemporary expression of Bolgheri with plenty of coastal sunshine and warmth but nothing excessive. Silky tannins frame the exceptionally polished nuanced finish. The 2021 is so alluring.”

Gaja Sito Moresco Rosso Langhe, Piedmont 2021 750ml Was $75, Now $64.50 special, 3 bottles in stock now
Importer Note “A beautiful violet color atypical of Nebbiolo but reflective of the 2021 vintage where fullness and richness are even present to the eye. The wine has bold notes of blackberry, cherry, blood orange, and bergamot with a touch of flintiness. Medium-structured with lots of juiciness and harmony on the palate all lead to well-balanced acidity and tannin structure with a long finish.”

Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 750ml $99 special, 6 bottles in stock now
Wine & Spirits Magazine 92 points “This is the most high-toned of Gaja’s three 2018 Brunellos, a portion of the fruit coming from the Torrenieri vineyard in Montalcino’s cooler northeastern corner. Hints of oregano and citrus peel accent the tangy red cherry flavors, with lingering hints of smoke and spice on the finish.”

Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta Rennina, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 750ml Was $236, Now $199, 5 bottles in stock now
Wine Spectator 94 points “Harmonious and bordering on creamy in texture, this red features cherry, raspberry, plum, loam, almond and black pepper aromas and flavors. Reveals pleasant bitterness as this winds down on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2045.”
Gaja Pieve Santa Restituta ‘Sugarille’, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2018 750ml Was $259, Now $219, 5 bottles in stock now
Wine Spectator 95 points “A dark, brooding 2018, with accents of smoke, vanilla, iron and tar surrounding a core of cherry and plum flavors. Reveals balsamic elements of eucalyptus and wild herbs on the lingering finish. On the austere side now, with a core of fruit and mineral. Best from 2025 through 2043.”
