Unveiling the Essence of Burgundy
Edouard Delaunay’s Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Aux Chaignots is a tribute to the grand tradition of Burgundy winemaking. Embedded in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, this Premier Cru vineyard is famous for producing wines that capture the complexity and depth characteristic of Burgundy.
The Art of Winemaking
At Edouard Delaunay, every bottle of Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru is a reflection of an intense commitment to excellence. Harvested by hand from the prestigious Aux Chaignots vineyard, the Pinot Noir grapes are selected with precision, ensuring only the cream of the crop contributes to this wine.
Vinification begins with gentle destemming, allowing the natural flavors to develop unhindered. The journey continues with a careful vinification process lasting approximately 18 days, ensuring the essence of Burgundy’s terroir is captured. Embracing tradition with a modern edge, the wine is then aged in oak barrels for 14 months, with 30% being new oak, enriching the wine with layers of flavor.
Tasting Exquisites
Dive into a glass of Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru and experience a dark ruby hue that hints at the bold flavors within. On the nose, indulge in vivid aromas of cherry intertwined with forest undergrowth, heather, and subtle notes of spices and coffee. The palate is a medium for flavors as intense as the wine’s hue – think cherries and blackcurrants complemented by nuances of truffle and sweet spices.
A truly full-bodied wine, it offers a silky texture that envelops the mouth, leaving behind an alluring finish of mocha and dark chocolate, enhanced by a touch of anise and peaty soil. This wine is not just a drink, it’s an experience, capable of evolving beautifully with age.
Perfect Pairings
Such a rich composition pairs exquisitely with robust dishes like Boeuf Bourguignon or a starter terrine, where the wine’s refined tannins can harmonize with hearty flavors.
Vintage Distinctions
While consistent across vintages, each year offers subtle variations thanks to the naturally diverse conditions of Burgundy. Whether it’s the intense aromas of the 2017 vintage or the balanced elegance of 2018, this wine consistently demonstrates outstanding quality.
