At the heart of Burgundy's prestige lie its renowned vineyards, which have garnered global acclaim for their exceptional wines. The names that resonate in the world of Burgundy are Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leroy, Domaine Armand Rousseau, and Domaine Georges Roumier. These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.
Burgundy's most esteemed wines are crafted from two noble grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Wine Advocate (91-93)The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Village is matured in 30% new oak, slightly higher than the Chorey or Savigny-lès-Beaune. It has a tightly wound bouquet with cranberry and wild strawberry fruit, fine mineralité percolating through with time in the glass, hints of wild hedgerow and cold stone tucked underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, brisk and breezing with a steely, focused finish that lingers long in the mouth. I appreciate the aloofness of this village cru, although I strongly suspect it will be less standoffish with three or four years in bottle. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Nuits Saint-Georges Village is matured in 30% new oak, although Emmanuel Rouget took this sample from a new barrel. It has a refined, pure nose, not powerful yet finely tuned, with subtle floral aromas. The well-balanced palate has a core of red fruit laced with blood orange and citrus peel notes that carry through to the lively, effervescent finish. I am deeply impressed by this Village Cru. Chapeau! |

Burghound (89-91)Outstanding. Touches of herbal tea and the sauvage add breadth to the earthier and slightly cooler aromas of mostly dark berries. There is very good underlying tension to the lightly stony flavors that culminate in a compact, rustic and mildly warm finale. This is quite powerful for a Nuits villages and a wine that will need at least 4 to 5 years before it can be approached with pleasure. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2020 Nuits Saint-Georges Village comes from Rouget’s four parcels in the north of the appellation. This has a pastille-like purity on the nose, dark cherries comingling with violet and light peony scents. The palate is well defined, quite structure, a little savory in style with black pepper on the structured finish. Afford this four or five years in bottle. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Village comes across a bit muted on the nose at the moment, more tertiary in style compared to Rouget's other cuvées. The palate is medium-bodied and well-knit, quite fine tannins, not complex yet with a touch of sapidity on the finish. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Village, matured in 20% new oak, has more complexity on the nose than the Chorey-lès-Beaune, featuring shimmering dark cherry and violet aromas that burst from the glass. On the palate there is a wonderful line of acidity and superb finesse, an achievement given the warmth in the latter part of the growing season. Superb. |
