Geographic description

There are two potential origins to the name Nuits-Saint-Georges. The first is said to have come from Nux, meaning "nut" in Latin. The other is said to be Nuithon, a barbarian tribe associated with the Burgundy people. In 1680, Louis 14th, suffering from a digestive disorder, was advised by his doctor to drink a glass of Nuits-Saint-Georges every day. The appellation extends over 175 hectares and produces wines with good structure that age extremely well.
