2020 Morgan Truchetet Nuits St. Georges Les Vallerots

Les Vallerots is a 2.4-acre Premier Cru vineyard in Nuits-Saints-Georges, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is in the southern part of of the appellation on its eastern edge and the largest segment of Les Vallerots is a villages designation. But the Premier Cru parcel is relatively steep with a southern exposure as well as a northeastern exposure.

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.
