The 2022 Domaine Gérard Julien Nuits-Saint-Georges is a beautifully crafted Pinot Noir from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most respected family estates. Sourced from several village-level parcels around Nuits-Saint-Georges, the wine is produced from limestone and marl soils and crafted with a traditional approach that emphasises purity, structure and terroir expression. The warm and highly regarded 2022 vintage delivered fruit with excellent concentration while retaining the freshness and balance that define great Burgundy.
The nose reveals black cherry, wild strawberry and blackberry alongside notes of violet, spice and subtle earthy complexity. The palate is rich yet refined, combining vibrant red and dark berry fruit with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Hints of forest floor, graphite and gentle oak emerge through a long, savoury finish. The 2022 vintage offers impressive depth and structure while remaining approachable in its youth, with the balance to reward further cellaring.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A classic Nuits-Saint-Georges that showcases the appellation’s signature combination of power and elegance. Structured, complex and highly food-friendly, it pairs beautifully with duck, roast pork, beef fillet, game birds and mushroom dishes. Enjoy with a short decant if drinking now, or cellar through 2035–2040 as it develops greater savoury complexity and Burgundian nuance.
