Nuits-Saint-Georges "Les Argillas" 1er cru 2021- Jeroboam

Description

Charles Lachaux's Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru ‘Aux Argillas’ is a masterful interpretation of an emblematic terroir. Located in the north of the appellation, this 1.9 hectare parcel is distinguished by its clay-rich soils, which give the wine remarkable depth and power. This unique terroir, combined with ideal exposure and a cooler climate, allows the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving their balance and natural acidity.

Under the expert guidance of Charles Lachaux, the vinification and ageing of this cuvée are carried out with artisanal precision. The grapes, grown using environmentally-friendly methods, are vinified with 100% whole bunches, enhancing the purity and authenticity of the fruit. After fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the wine is matured in oak barrels with a moderate proportion of new wood, enhancing the aromas without masking the expression of the terroir.

In the glass, this 1er Cru seduces with its deep, brilliant colour. On the nose, it displays a complex range of aromas, combining intense notes of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and raspberry, with subtle hints of sweet spices and undergrowth. On the palate, it offers an imposing structure, underpinned by silky tannins and a remarkable freshness inherited from the cool climate of the parcel. The long, harmonious finish reveals the racy elegance that is the hallmark of the great wines of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
