Chanterêves Nuits-Saint-George Les Tuyaux 2021

Burgundy / France
-
Fresh blackberries and plums on the nose in this Pinot Noir. On the palate, red and black fruit with spices, orange zest, and a touch of forest soil. Solid structure and a long finish.

Located at the very northern end of Nuits Saint Georges. Soils are relatively deep, light in color, and stony. 100% whole-cluster fermentation, ambient yeast fermentation with a pied de cuve, no mechanical pump-overs, limited foot punch-downs, aged two winters in 228L barrels (very little new oak). Minimal SO2 addition at harvest, then only if needed (during aging and before bottling), no fining, no filtration.
