The name Nuits may come from "noyer" (walnut tree), a not very frequent tree in this region. As a matter of fact, the hillsides in Burgundy were covered with oak trees at the time the Romans arrived.

"Deep garnet colour, bright like a gemstone.

The aromas are as intense, but elegant. They are reminiscent of cherry jelly with hints of wood and balsam, or cedar. With age, the aromas take on gamey touches.

On the palate, the wine displays flesh as well as structure and a velvety texture. 

Very flavorful aftertaste, evoking fruit syrups and spice infusions".
