A Masterclass in Nuits-St-Georges
Discover the elegance and depth of Domaine Alain Michelot’s Nuits-St-Georges Vieilles Vignes 2021, a wine that epitomises the character and complexity of this renowned Burgundy appellation. Crafted from old vines, this Pinot Noir offers a refined experience that speaks to the terroir of Nuits-St-Georges.
Region: Nuits-St-Georges
Nestled between the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, Nuits-St-Georges is one of Burgundy's most celebrated villages for Pinot Noir. Its soils, rich in limestone and clay, impart a distinct minerality to the wines. The vineyards, with their optimal southeast-facing slopes, capture the region's perfect balance of sunshine and cool air, allowing the grapes to ripen gradually, resulting in wines with both power and finesse.
Producer: Domaine Alain Michelot
Domaine Alain Michelot is a family estate with a long history in the heart of Nuits-St-Georges. With an emphasis on sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques, the domaine creates wines that are a pure reflection of the region’s exceptional terroir. The Vieilles Vignes bottling, made from the estate’s oldest vines, is a true showcase of their commitment to quality.
Tasting Notes
The 2021 vintage is characterised by vibrant aromas of red berry fruits, such as raspberry and strawberry, with delicate hints of rose petal and earthy spice. The palate is elegantly structured with silky tannins, bright acidity, and layers of ripe fruit, complemented by subtle oak nuances. A long and harmonious finish completes this expressive wine.
Perfect Serve
Serve at 16–18°C, ideally after decanting for 30 minutes to allow the wine to fully open. Pair it with roasted duck, beef bourguignon, or a selection of fine cheeses to enhance its depth and complexity.

Stunning depth and rich body. I can almost tell if a red wine is going to be good by the lack of a white rim around when you pour the glass. This has a lovely blood ted colour and delivers.

I'm just going to be honest here, I'm a Gavi Girl and have been trying to find this little gem for a while. It's absolutely delicious and so adaptable too. Thrilled with the price, delivery and service and happily ordering more!

A lovely drink and remarkably good value . Smooth and buttery with that unmistakable Napa terroir writ large. Nothing not to like.

Another fantastic wine tasting. But with a difference. Wine bottles concealed in black numbered bags 1-7. Black glasses. So we were unaware of what we were tasting, having to rely on taste and smell alone. We had tasting notes to guide our thoughts once we had made a few notes ourselves. It was great fun. I managed to at least figure out whether or not the wine was red. But missed the rose and mistook one white for red.
The Wine Shop tasting are great fun. Highly recommend.

Great evening getting confused and educated at the very interesting Mystery Wine Tasting with 7 secret wines in black bags to taste using black glasses so you couldn’t tell if it was white, rose, or red. Kelli and Caroline gave great guidance and helped us work through what we were smelling and tasting to get to a grape and country. My two fears were that (1) I wouldn’t recognise a Tempranillo (especially as it turned out to be one I have often purchased!) and (2) that I’d actually like a Merlot!!! (Luckily there wasn’t one 😂). Another brilliant wine tasting.

We really enjoyed the Rose Wine Tasting which showcased a great selection of styles so that there was something that suited everyone around our table . Really informative about the different production methods and busted some myths! Wine Shop Winscombe tastings are always great value and great fun.

The first time I tasted the Long Barn I paid £15 for a large glass in a upmarket town pub. £15!! Oh my though, it was delicious..
Full bodied, fruity with and intense spicy finish, I had to fight my partner for the rest of the glass once he’d been given a taste.
Imagine my delight when I found it here at Vinoshop for less than £15 for the bottle! I’ll take a cheeky box of 6 thanks!

Another great wine tasting, with an exciting range of Summer Wines. Starting with a surprisingly good gently sparkling Asti, with an outstanding Penfolds 311 Chardonnay, with some fresh Summery reds including a great, full bodied Cabernet Franc from Argentina. As ever, expertly curated and explained. Looking forward to the next tastings.

The dark fruit, hint of spice and chocolate make for a truly delicious Valpolicella! I’m here to order another six bottle.. yum! 😋

I am very much enjoying this whisky in the evening for a night cap. It is beautifully smooth, well balanced, with a elegant floral sweetness.

I recently shopped at vinoshop.co.uk and was really impressed. The website is easy to use, with helpful wine descriptions that made choosing the right bottle a lot simpler. I was looking for a gift for a Ruby anniversary, and their team suggested a stunning Portuguese red wine—it was perfect!
The checkout process was smooth, and my order arrived quickly, beautifully packaged. Plus, the customer service was fantastic—they were quick to answer my questions and offer great advice.
If you're after quality wines and excellent service, I highly recommend The Wine Shop. It’s a great experience from start to finish.

Thank you so much for the recommendation, it went beautifully with the mackerel we had last night.

Just right for sharing with my visiting family and now for supping on the Isles of Scilly.
Thank you Matthew and Kelli (and new team member Carolyn? whom I have yet to meet!). Great to hear about your new business plans. J.

Pre-selected white wine case of 12, a lovely selection perfect for summer bbq’s and entertaining. Super fast delivery too.

Absolutely fantastic pure nectar, heavenly!
