Founded in 1270 during the Middle Ages, the Hospices de Nuits serves as a charitable hospital for the poor and has received generous donations of vineyards from local wealthy families to ensure its continuation. With a smaller estate compared to Hospices de Beaune, the property spans 12.5 hectares of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, including the coveted "Les Didiers" monopole and renowned "Saint-Georges". These exceptional wines are sold "en primeur" at a prestigious auction in March and are then aged and bottled by a Burgundian négociant. Purchasing wine from Hospices de Nuits not only offers a unique opportunity to enjoy exceptional wines, but also supports philanthropy and contributes to the hospital, retirement home, and various associations.
This 2019 one harvest presents a lovely dark hue. Luscious, ripe fruit notes of cherry further enhance the palate's initial impact, while maintaining a crisp, well-balanced acidity and solid structure. This intriguing wine boasts a pleasant richness and a pleasantly salted finish.
