The Grand Cru of beers....

Very small production and limited release....

Bush (Scaldis) 2009 Prestige de Nuits....$39.99 / 750ml

"The Bush Nights vintage 2009... Whether fans of this exceptional beer matured in oak casks which have contained wine Nuits St Georges rejoice: The Night of Bush is back ... To recall, the Bush de Nuits beer is quite amazing and absolutely unique. Given its long maturation in barrels that have contained wine from Nuits St Georges, it has no resemblance with other beers. This is a true character of beer, the amber-red dress, but slightly thinning that special aroma and complex beer with winy overtones.

"When he got back from Burgundy in France, where he had been buying wine in the Nuits-St.-Georges region, Hughes Dubuisson came up with the idea of matruring Bush/Scaldis de Noel in oak casks which had previously contained the famous Cotes du Nuits. After 6 months of maturing, 210 prottype bottles were draw for presentation to the specialist press. The test was conclusive and Bush/Scaldis Prestige de Nuits was born!!
The old style maturing, in oak barrels previously used to hold Nuits St. Georges wine, allows the taster to enjoy a highly flavoursome some with wine-like aromas of red fruits giving it an amazing harmonious balance in the mouth with sweetness, a hint of acidity and a relatively dry aftertaste in spite of the high density of the beer. This is great art!" -- brewery
