Domaine Sylvain Loichet Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Aux Chaignots, Côte de Nuits, France (2023) Domaine Sylvain Loichet’s vineyard extends across several plots in the Côte de Nuits, including this 1er Cru parcel where the soil is composed of brown limestone with very little clay, creating a stony and well-drained environment.

Tasting Notes:
''The 2023 Les Aux Chaignots shows the classic elegance of the northern side of Nuits-Saint-Georges. It opens with high-toned floral notes of violet and rose, followed by a core of juicy red cherry. On the palate, the tannins are silky and refined, characteristic of this pebbly terroir. It is a graceful expression of the vintage, balancing ripeness with a vibrant, mineral-edged finish.'' - Score 92-94 - Domaine Sylvain Loichet, Technical Release Notes, 2024

Serving Suggestions:
It pairs perfectly with Roasted Duck, Mushroom Risotto, and soft-centered cheeses such as Epoisses, Langres, or a well-aged Camembert.
