Nuits-Saint-Georges (French pronunciation: [nɥi sɛ̃ ʒɔʁʒ]) is a commune in the arrondissement of Beaune of the Côte-d'Or department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in Eastern France.

Wine

Nuits-Saint-Georges is one of the main towns of the Côte de Nuits wine-producing area of Burgundy.

Nuits-Saint-Georges was the site of the traditional Burgundian festival, la Saint-Vincent-Tournante, in 2007. It is a festival that celebrates the wine of a different Burgundian village each year.

Stone

The local marble is a sedimentary rock, a limestone, that is not susceptible to frost damage. It is fine-grained and capable of accepting a polish. There is a vein of this stone, called popularly "the Comblanchien" and extending from Nuits-Saint-Georges to Nevers, which has made the reputations of the quarries of the region. The stone will harmonize with any style by virtue of the variety of its shades of colour, the pink of bindweed (Convolvulus) and beige, and its grain.

Sport

Stage 7 of the 2017 Tour de France finished here on 7 July 2017. The stage was won by Marcel Kittel.

History

The town owes much to the economic development arising from Cistercian enterprise. The mayor of the town Franco de Martino brought them out of debt in 1905.
