The Wine Merchant
The text indicates that the wine house of Henri de Bahèzre was founded in 1808 and was located in Nuits-Saint-Georges, a renowned winemaking commune in the Côte d'Or department of the Burgundy region in France. Wines from Nuits-Saint-Georges are known for their powerful, full-bodied Pinot Noir red wines with notes of cherry, blackberry, and truffle when matured. |
