The Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru "Les Rues de Chaux" 2021 from Domaine Chicotot is a wine of rare elegance, born from 75-year-old vines on red-brown soils and limestone rock in the Les Rues de Chaux cru, located in the southern part of Nuits. This bright ruby red releases a bouquet of fresh red fruits (raspberry, wild strawberry), violet and a touch of white pepper, with a delicate minerality. Aged for 18 months in oak barrels, it offers a soft and balanced palate, with fine tannins and a fresh and juicy finish, typical of the fresh 2021 vintage. An accessible Pinot Noir but with remarkable evolutionary potential.
Production Method Organic, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in steel tanks for 15-20 days after 5-6 days of cold pre-fermentation maceration, maturation 18 months in French oak barrels (25% new), refinement in bottle for at least 6 months.
Pairings Roast poultry, sautéed mushrooms, beef bourguignon.
