Domaine Chevillon Chezeaux Nuits St Georges 1er Cru "Les Porrets St-Georges" 2022, 750ml
100% Pinot Noir from 0.23 ha from a single parcel of the 1er Cru Les Porrets Saint Georges at 250 to 260m of altitude. Planted in brown limestone soil, and pink limestone from Premeaux facing east. Age of the vines: 45 years old.
The grapes are 100% destemmed and lightly crushed, followed by a pre-fermentation, cold maceration of 7 days, and fermentation with punch downs and pump overs. The wine is pressed and transferred to barrels by gravity, and ages for 16 months in 20% new oak barrels.
Tasting Note:
Powerful, complex and well-balanced, their aromas are a mixture of cherry, blackcurrant, truffle and often spices. High in alcohol, these wines are sappy, well-structured and velvety on the palate. Particularly robust, but round at the same time, they are perfect for a long cellaring.
