Maison Saint Vivant 2016, Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru "Aux Bousselots"

This 100% Pinot Noir from the limestone soils of Nuits-Saint-Georges is bold, complex, and quietly dramatic. Ideal for a winter dinner party or a solo steak and candlelight kind of night. Its mix of ripe berries, spice, and earthy undertones offers something new with every sip.

Tasting Notes: This Premier Cru Pinot Noir opens with a powerful bouquet of strawberry, raspberry, and blackcurrant. As it matures, the nose deepens into warm spice and a hint of earthiness. The palate is structured yet elegant, with natural fermentation and extended oak aging adding texture and complexity. The finish is smooth and persistent, making this a classic Nuits-Saint-Georges with both aging potential and immediate charm.

Varietals: 100% Pinot Noir

About the Estate: Maison Saint Vivant is a special project from Antoine Gille, with very limited production. In 1851, it was written that the Gille family had already been present in Comblanchien since 1570. Antoine's grandfather built the estate that exists today. His parents dramatically expanded the vineyards, and now Antoine and his family have taken over. The Gille family philosophy is that winemaking is not a job, but a passion guided by tradition and innovation. The Gille family places a special reverence to their vineyards - No hazardous materials are used in cultivation and no products used in excess. Their goal is to preserve the myriad of yeasts on the berries, which guarantees the expression of the different climates through natural fermentation & little to no human intervention.
