Nuits Saint Georges Maison Ambroise 1997
The Nuits Saint Georges Maison Ambroise 1997 is a red wine from the renowned Burgundy region in eastern France. Maison Ambroise is a small family domain located in Premeaux-Prissey, a municipality just south of Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Côte de Nuits. The estate has been established in Burgundy for five generations and is currently managed by Bertrand Ambroise alongside his children, Ludivine and François. The 1997 vintage achieved a score of 86 points and is described as charming, but quickly developed.
Burgundy's viticultural landscape was shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the area's countless terroirs, creating a fine-meshed system of climats. Nuits Saint Georges, located in the southern part of the Côte de Nuits, gave its name to this entire subregion. The appellation, which also encompasses Premeaux-Prissey, features calcareous soils and is home to many renowned Premier Cru vineyards, though it has no Grand Cru sites. Maison Ambroise cultivates around 20 hectares distributed across several classic appellations in the area, with Nuits-Saint-Georges serving as the anchor for the domain.
This wine is made from Pinot Noir, an elegant blue grape that is the primary focus of the region, though it is also widely cultivated in areas like Champagne, Germany, Oregon, and California. Classified as Appellation Nuits-Saint-Georges Contrôlée, the wine has an alcohol content of 13%. According to the domain, the wine has been bottled according to old methods, which can naturally result in a light deposit in the bottle.
