Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Rues de Chaux
It has red fruit and floral notes with a slightly spicy background. Its structure softens with time and develops a wine with a beautiful aromatic complexity and much finesse.
Reddish brown soil, limestone, on a cracked bedrock. This climate takes its name from Chaux (etymology: rocky plateau), as it runs alongside the road that leads to this village.
Average age of the vines: the upper part was replanted following the frost of 1985, the lower part is 75 years old. SURFACE AREA: 28 ares 80
Vinification : After several days of pre-fermentation maceration (5 to 6 days), fermentation continues for about 15 days, without yeast, the operations (punching down and pumping over) being carried out as required, to preserve the wine's elegance, without excessive extraction. After pneumatic pressing and a few days in vats, the wines are racked by gravity, with an average of no more than 25% new barrels.
Bottling: SO2 content: 20 mg/l free SO2, 60 mg/l total SO2
Food and wine pairing :
traditional Burgundian dishes, game or roast poultry, or simply a pan of mushrooms. To be avoided with fatty and creamy cheeses.
