Origins

Nuits-Saint-Georges is the last appellation of the Côte de Nuits, cultivated around the town of the same name. It covers just over 300 hectares planted almost exclusively with Pinot Noir grapes, 47% of which are classified as 1er Cru.

The 2.8-hectare Nuits-Saint-Georges “Les Chaboeufs” vineyard overlies shallow, slightly pebbly clay-limestone soil. The grapes for this wine were grown on old vines using specific growing methods such as: high pruning of the vines, limited yields due to severe disbudding, green harvest if needed, growing crop cover between the rows of vines, little or no use of fertilizers, and environmentally friendly pest management that does not harm beneficial wildlife.

It is assumed that the name of this climat was inherited from the name of the former owners of the parcel, the Chabeufs.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes are carefully sorted at the time of harvest and again on the sorting table when they arrive at the winery. They are then 100% de-stemmed but not crushed and placed in vats by gravity. Maceration for 2 weeks in wooden vats. Vinification in wooden vats and ageing in oak barrels for 12 months (35% new barrels).

The Weather : Uncertain conditions, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
