Region: Burgundy
Variety: Pinot Noir
What's in the glass: Located in the southern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges, 'Les Chaliots' sits on an alluvial cone, rich in small stones, giving the vineyard its name from "Chaille," meaning small stones. The clayey soil, low in limestone but rich in chailles—a reddish flint high in silica—enhances the wine’s minerality, pure fruit expression, and acidity, contributing to its robust structure and aging potential.
Covering 0.82 hectares, the 40-year-old vines lend depth and concentration, producing a wine that beautifully expresses the more detailed and feminine version of the terroir of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
A slightly more elegant nose reveals discreet spice and floral wisps on the red currant and softer earth nuances. The sleeker and more energetic middleweight flavors display a more evident bead of minerality on the lingering, robust and powerful finish where a touch of rusticity gradually appears. 87-90 points Allen Meadows, The Burghound
