Domaine Alain MichelotNuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Aux Chaignots' 2014

About this wine

This Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru from Domaine Alain Michelot is a textbook example of what great Burgundy Pinot Noir should be. The 'Aux Chaignots' vineyard delivers a wine with remarkable depth and a complexity that will reward your patience.

The glass reveals a deep, rich color that hints at the intensity within. On the nose, you'll find layers of ripe fruit that gradually shift toward delicate floral notes. As the wine opens up, expect hints of balsam, game, musk and liquorice to emerge, creating an aromatic profile that's both refined and distinguished. The palate mirrors this complexity with a structure built for aging.

This is the perfect match for roasted duck breast with cherry sauce, beef bourguignon, or a selection of aged French cheeses like Époisses or Comté. Decant for at least 1 hour before serving to let it breathe properly. Serve at a temperature between 16°C and 18°C to fully appreciate its nuances.
