Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Chaignots 2018 - Faiveley

The Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Chaignots 2018 from Domaine Faiveley is a Burgundy red wine from one of the most renowned climats in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this Burgundy 1er Cru fully expresses the richness, finesse and complexity of the Chaignots terroir. The generous and sunny 2018 vintage offers a wine that is both powerful and elegant, with a remarkable balance between fruit, structure and freshness.

The nose opens with aromas of ripe red and black fruits (cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry), accompanied by floral notes, violet, cocoa and a subtle mineral touch. On the palate, the wine reveals a silky structure, fine and precise tannins, a dense and balanced texture, with a long and persistent finish that highlights the typical characteristics of the terroir and the refined style of Domaine Faiveley.

This Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 2018 is best served at around 16°C, after a brief decanting if enjoyed young. It pairs perfectly with mature red meats, roast pigeon, lamb in sauce or refined mushroom dishes. Already harmonious in its youth, it has an ageing potential of 10 to 15 years, developing more complex notes of undergrowth, spices and cocoa over time.

An elegant, racy and structured Burgundy 1er Cru, reflecting all the finesse of Pinot Noir and the expertise of Domaine Faiveley.
