The Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru - Aux Chaignots - Domaine Alain Michelot represents a classic and elegant expression of Burgundy. This wine reveals the mastery with which the Michelot family manages its vineyards, located in one of the most prestigious areas of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation.

The "Aux Chaignots" vineyard is characterized by its limestone and gravel soil, which imparts extraordinary aromatic complexity and persistent minerality to the wine.

On the nose, the Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru offers a rich bouquet of black cherry, wild strawberry, and spicy nuances of black pepper and vanilla, the result of careful aging in barrels. On the palate, the wine unfolds with a powerful yet balanced entrance, accompanied by fine tannins and lively freshness that leads to a long and aromatic finish.

Ideal to serve with complex meat dishes, such as braised lamb or game, this wine can be decanted for a few hours before serving to enhance its richness and aromatic complexity.
