Domaine Chevillon Chezeaux Nuits St Georges 1er Cru "Aux Champs Perdrix" 2022, 750ml

100% Pinot Noir from 0.34 ha from of the 1er Cru Aux Champs Perdrix at 280m of altitude facing south and south east. Planted in brown limestone soil, with plenty of gravels and clay limestone on top of chalk from the Jurassic period from Comblanchien. Age of the vines: 50 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:

Deep, lively colour. A generous, dense fruitiness marks the youth of champs perdrix. Blueberry, blackberry and blackcurrant compete with raspberry, guava and pear. A combination that is as seductive for its diversity as for its finesse. The fullness and volume, the freshness and finesse of the tannins confirm an elegant, full-bodied structure. Over the years, it retains its fruitiness and freshness, enriching itself with new flavours: cherry, prune, liquorice, caramel and some very fine herbaceous notes. The whole evolves towards nuances of meat, game and smoke.
