Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Chaignots

Information

Description

Domaine Alain Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Chaignots is a red wine from the Côte de Nuits. It belongs to the northern sector of Nuits, towards Vosne-Romanée, where the soils have a substantial clay component. Winemaking proceeds slowly, with largely destemmed grapes and an extended maceration. After pressing, the wine is transferred with its fine lees into oak barrels. The cool cellars favour gradual development, while new wood is used in a restrained proportion to accompany the wine’s structure without dominating it during its maturation in the cellar.
