Description
Les Poulettes is a Premier Cru vineyard in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, located near the top of the Côte d’Or slope. The 2.4-hectare site, planted mainly with Pinot Noir, has stony, limestone-rich soils that limit vine vigor and yield. With a slightly more southern exposure, it ripens earlier than lower vineyards while maintaining good acidity due to Burgundy’s cool climate. Although not as famous as other Nuits-Saint-Georges sites, it produces high-quality wines from several reputable domaines. The name likely refers to a chicken coop, though its origin is uncertain.
