"As is so often the case in cellars in Nuits St. Georges, the Michelotsā example of Chaignots is one of the more flashy and forward premier crus in the cellar, despite its earnest need of a racking. The nose offers up notes of black cherries, plums, blood orange, cocoa, soil tones and a topnote of roses. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and quite plush and charming (for young Nuits St. Georges), with fine length and grip, bright acids, and supple tannins on the finish."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
