Description
Les Chaignots is the only Premier Cru of the Henri Gouges estate located in the northern part of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, in Burgundy. The vineyard is situated at the base of the hill, on grassy soils composed of clay, limestone, and alluvial deposits from the Combe de la Serrée. This terroir is known for producing wines of great elegance, finesse, and refinement.
The wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, cultivated with extreme care to enhance the true expression of the cru. After the harvest, vinification follows the traditional practices of Burgundy, followed by aging that allows for the development of depth and complexity, while maintaining the typical delicacy of the terroir.
In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color. The aromatic profile is rich and harmonious, dominated by notes of ripe red fruits, subtle spices, and floral hints. On the palate, it shows a balanced structure, silky tannins, and a beautiful persistence, with a finish that echoes the elegance of the bouquet and confirms its overall refinement.
Ideal for pairing with roasted or grilled red meats and aged cheeses with a strong flavor.
