Wines Nuits-Saint-Georges La Voûte Saint Vincent - 2023

Viniou Reviews

La Voûte Saint Vincent 2023 from the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation in Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits is a red wine crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir, the emblematic grape of the region. The 2023 vintage benefited from a temperate climate with balanced rainfall and spells of warmth, resulting in optimal grape maturation. The winemaking process focuses on gentle extraction to preserve the subtlety and aromatic complexity typical of Pinot Noir, with ageing in French oak barrels lending structure and a touch of spice. Grand Cru vineyards here are celebrated for producing wines of remarkable finesse, depth, and longevity.

Nuits-Saint-Georges lies in the northern section of Burgundy, within the renowned Côte de Nuits. The terroir comprises predominantly limestone and clay soils, offering excellent drainage and imparting a mineral backbone to the wine. The region’s history is steeped in centuries-old viticultural tradition, with a reputation for powerful yet refined Pinot Noir. The continental climate, marked by brisk winters and warm, dry summers, favours slow grape ripening, preserving vibrant acidity and a spectrum of red and black fruit aromas alongside earthy, savoury elements.

The style of La Voûte Saint Vincent lends itself beautifully to a wide range of culinary pairings. Classic Burgundy dishes such as coq au vin or boeuf bourguignon are natural partners, their richness complemented by the wine’s freshness and elegant tannins. Duck breast with cherry sauce, roasted guinea fowl, or even a mushroom risotto will echo the wine’s subtle earthy and forest floor notes. For cheese, consider a mild Époisses or Comté to enhance the fine tannic structure without overpowering the delicate fruit profile.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this Nuits-Saint-Georges at 15-17°C, allowing its bouquet to unfold. Decanting for thirty minutes will help reveal its youthful nuances, but this wine also shows the potential to evolve gracefully over several years in the cellar, developing further complexity and texture.
