Éleveur | Nuits-Saint-Georges Vieilles Vignes le Village Rouge is a phenomenal 100% Pinot Noir, crafted using immaculate fruit from old vines in select plots chosen specifically for their character – one near Vosne-Romanée for its elegance and power, and another from the rocky soils south of the village for its minerality and richness. The wine aged in French oak of the finest cooperage for 15 months, resulting in a true beauty that drinks like a Premier Cru. Awarded 93 points from both Wine Enthusiast and Suckling under its original label, it retails stateside for $90/bottle before shipping. Yours today for the lowest price this side of the Atlantic by a mile, and one of the best values on a Nuits-Saint-Georges you’ll find.

Pouring a beautiful ruby hue into the glass, an elegant nose of cranberry and plums kissed by brown sugar is followed by strawberries with a floral halo. Vibrant and terroir-driven on palate entry, a cranberry-like acidity frames layers of clove, turned leaves, and black cherries. The tannins are polished and assertive, providing a firm, grippy structure that hints at an impressive aging potential. A finish of remarkable length is dry, immaculate, and delicate, with wisps of vanilla blossoms floating around cranberries and fresh-foraged mushrooms.
