Clement Chicotot Nuits-Saint-Georges Papillons (VV) 2021
Vineyards
Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, France
Winemaking and Maturation
After a few days of pre-fermentation maceration (5–6 days), fermentation takes place over about 15 days, without adding yeast. The cap-punching and pumping over operations are carried out as necessary to preserve all of the wine’s elegance without excessive extraction. After pneumatic pressing and several days in vats, the wines are racked off by gravity, with the proportion of new barrels no greater than 25%.
Tasting Notes
An intense wine with elegant tannins on floral notes (peonies and violets), and luscious accents of small red fruit.
