    Cuvée presentation

    The Burgundian domaine Chicotot is now masterfully managed by Georges and Pascale Chicotot who practice organic cultivation on their 8 hectares of vines. Here they have produced a Nuits-Saint-Georges from the Premier Cru Vaucrains which is renowned for its power. The Pinot noir that it is made from draws its distinction from a rich, fertile, heavy soil composed of red clay and stone.
    In the cellar, the domaine bottles the wines without prior fining and filtration. We recommend leaving this wine to settle for at least five years in the cellar. It will then reveal its dark, deep and powerful quality. Its ruby-red colour tinted with purplish glints introduces a rich blend of aromas with distinctive notes of plum, blackberry, black and red fruits and sweet spices. The palate is structured by many tannins that will become more supple over time. This is a gastronomic wine which will be the perfect accompaniment to flavoursome and powerful dishes such as game in sauce, a risotto with girolle mushrooms, or beef bourguignon.
