RATINGS

91-93The Wine Advocate

Shows tons of intensity in its fruit along with an opulent personality...it’s hard not to admire the wine’s enveloping, generous texture.

90-92Burghound.com

...well-concentrated yet relatively fine medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent depth and length in a well balanced package. Good juice with excellent potential.

89-92Stephen Tanzer

High-pitched aromas of black cherry, licorice, pepper and flowers. Very ripe but juicy and a bit youthfully imploded...This broad, long wine saturates the palate on the spicy finish.

17Jancis Robinson

Real lift to this wine which has a fluidity to it – not too sweet or thick. Delicate and well done but difficult to tell how long it will last. A delicate snapshot of the vintage.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-St.-Georges, Aux Chaignots

Aux Chaignots is a 13-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Nuits-Saints-Georges appellation, in Burgundy’s Cote-de-Nuits. Because there are no Grand Cru vineyards in Nuits-Saints-Georges, the appellation’s considerable reputation rests on its excellent Premier Crus. Aux Chaignots is in the northern part of the appellation, where the soil is limestone mixed with gravel. Burgundy writer Clive Coates notes that the wines from these northern Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Crus are “rich, full and elegant.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
