Aegerter Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaboeufs 2019

Domaine History

Since 1994, the Aegerter family has cultivated and vinified more than 10 hectares of vineyards. Its wines aim for precision and elegance while respecting Burgundian traditions.

Terroir

The Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru climat Les Chaboeufs lies at the entrance to the Combe des Vallerots. Its clay-limestone soil is planted with Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes

The grapes are cut and sorted by hand, destemmed, and macerated for 2 to 4 days in stainless-steel vats before fermentation. Vinification takes place in vats, followed by ageing in oak barrels, 30% of them new. The wine is brilliant carmine red, with cherry and fresh-mushroom notes; the palate is tender, with an almost melted finish.
