Faiveley Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Porets Saint-Georges 2023 comes from a 1.69-hectare Premier Cru parcel south of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The vines, planted in 1945, 1954, 2005 and 2011, have eastern exposure and grow on deep brown limestone and gravel soils.
Vinification
Daily punching down extracts colour, tannins and aromas from the grape skins. After a 19-day vatting period, alcoholic fermentation is complete. Free-run wine is drawn off by gravity, and the marc is pressed gently to obtain pure press wine. The wine is matured in French oak barrels, allowing the wine?s structure, fruit and tannins to integrate while preserving its Premier Cru identity.
2023
The 2023 vintage began with a mild, dry winter, followed by heavy spring rainfall. Frost impact was limited, and warm June weather led to rapid flowering and abundant fruit. Green harvesting reduced yields in the C?te de Nuits, while minor July hail caused little damage. August?s varied temperatures supported ripening, and harvest took place in heatwave conditions. Fruit was healthy, aromatic and ripe.
Tasting Note
The nose shows black fruit, subtle wood and smoke. The palate is fleshy and generous at first, then develops in power and structure. Full-bodied and well balanced, it combines ripe fruit with firm tannins and savoury depth. The finish is long, structured and persistent, with the ageing potential expected of Les Porets Saint-Georges.
Food Pairing
Pair with beef bourguignon, roast lamb, venison, duck, game, mushroom dishes, truffle pasta, aged cheeses or classic C?te de Nuits cuisine.
