In the fourth century, Philibert de Mollans would have brought back to Nuits the relics of Saint George, Christian martyr, In Celtic languagea, Nuits means wet land or fertile mud, also, marshy meadow In Medieval Latin languagea.

It is certain that Jules Verne appreciated the wine of Nuits because, in his novel Around the Moon, "a thin bottle of Nights" was chosen to celebrate "the union of the Earth and its satellite". This is the reason why the crew of Apollo XV officially gave on July 25, 1971, to a lunar hole, the name of the "crater Saint-Georges", paying tribute to this writer.
