Presentation
Nuits-Saint-Georges gave its name to the Côte de Nuits and is almost exclusively devoted to the production of red Pinot Noir wines. The appellation stretches across 2 communes - Nuits-Saint-Georges and Prémeaux-Prissey. Differences in terms of exposure and soil profiles in the vineyards in the south and north of the appellation result in wines that are very diverse.
The "Les Crots" Climat is located in the southern part of the commune of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Its name, a dialectal variant of "creux" (hollow) refers to the relief of this very steep slope whose contour forms a significant hollow.
