Les Saints Georges: This 7.52-hectare Premier Cru climat lies in the southern part of the commune of Nuits-St-Georges along the border with Premeaux-Prissy, just downhill and east of  Chaines Carteaux  and Les Vaucrains. By consensus, Les Saints Georges is the finest vineyard in the appellation and worthy of Grand Cru status.  Facing east and lying at 245-260 meters, this vineyard has a gentle hillside slope of 7-8%. The topsoil is rich and very stony with a mixture of limestone and clay.  The subsoil is a complex base of Premeaux, Comblanchien and oolitic limestone.
