Vinification of the Nuits-Saint-Georges by Ropiteau Frères

The grapes for the Nuits-Saint-Georges come from carefully selected vineyards in the eponymous Burgundian region. The soils are rich in limestone, promoting the development of complex flavors in the grapes. The harvest is conducted by hand, with only the best grapes selected for vinification.

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are gently destemmed and placed in stainless steel tanks. During fermentation, care is taken to maintain a constant temperature to preserve the fruity aromas. Following fermentation, a malolactic fermentation occurs, which adds additional finesse to the wine. The aging takes place in high-quality oak barrels, imparting gentle toasted notes and a pleasant complexity to the wine. Overall, the Nuits-Saint-Georges matures for at least 12 months before it is released to the market, allowing it to reach its full potential.
