Chateau Gris Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Rouge is an elegant, classy red Burgundy from one of the finest appellations in the region.

Chateau Gris, a building dating back to the 18th century, stands in the midst of a 3.5-hectare walled vineyard. Locals named it as such because its roof is covered with grey (gris) slate. Glazed tiles are usually more common in Burgundy.

Since the 1920s, wines produced from grapes cultivated in this vineyard have been granted the designation of origin, Chateau Gris.

This vineyard exclusively produces red wines from Pinot Noir. It is classified as a monopole vineyard and holds the 1er Cru status. Producers craft it from hand-harvested grapes. Following harvest, these undergo a three-week fermentation in temperature-controlled conical oak vats.

Following fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels (25% new) for 12 to 15 months.

While this wine is ready for consumption upon release, it would further develop with cellaring for 5 to 7 years after release.

Enjoy Chateau Gris Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Rouge with red meat, dishes in wine sauce, marinated game and aged cheeses.

Producer’s Tasting Notes

The wine exhibits a vibrant bouquet of red and dark fruits. Complementing these are subtle notes of clove, toast, and roasted coffee imparted by the barrels.
