The wine region of Côte de Nuits Villages
Appellation at both ends of the Côte de Nuits (5 communes): signature Pinot Noir as king red almost exclusively — ruby-garnet robe with classic aromas of cherry, redcurrant, blackcurrant, raspberry, undergrowth, mushroom and a spicy touch (cinnamon), velvety tannins and fine roundness, signature accessibility facing the prestigious neighboring villages. AOC (1964), Fixin and Brochon to the north, Comblanchien, Corgoloin and Prissey to the south, limestone marls.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
