The three Nuits-Saint-Georges wines, ‘Les Herbues’, ‘Les Charmois’ and ‘Les Grandes Vignes’, are made using different ratios of ‘baie par baie’, whole bunches and destemmed grapes. While all displaying delicate floral aromas and velvety tannins, each shows a strong expression of their ‘climat’ within this famous village.

Domaine Pierre-Olivier Garcia was established in 2016 by friends Pierre-Olivier Garcia and Mathieu Moron. Mathieu has now left the business and Pierre-Olivier continues the domaine located in the centre of Nuits Saint Georges. Pierre-Olivier owns a few parcels of vines and he buys from like-minded growers that farm sustainably. Pierre-Olivier believes that vineyard health is synonymous with a balanced ecosystem which explains the chickens used to graze their vineyards. They use horses when they can afford to. The conscientious production extends to the winery with indigenous yeast fermentations, minimal new oak and no fining or filtration in order to bottle, as close as possible, what each vineyard produced. The wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks before they descend into their cool cellar to go through malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels.
