Nuits St Georges Vieilles Vignes 2016, Domaine Chicotot
Brand: Domaine Chicotot
This wine has very good depth and dimension with some tannins, which are by no means aggressive, and a lingering flavour of plump raspberry fruit enveloped in a fine silkiness. This is classic Nuits St. Georges packed full of vibrant fruit yet wrapped up in considerable structure. The length of the wine is very impressive.This estate was a very exciting find for us in early 2005 after tasting much that was thin and over-produced in the region. The husband and wife team of Georges and Pascale Chicotot is a very endearing combination. Pascale, who evidently wears the trousers, together with her husband Georges , who creates the impression of being more down trodden than he actually is, produce Nuits wines that are rich and polished with good structures yet without losing the inherent velvety, raspberry and wild strawberry fruit that makes great Burgundy so alluring. Both husband and wife vie with each other to see who can make the better wine. Actually it seems they both succeed!
