OriginsNuits-Saint-Georges is the last appellation of the Côte de Nuits, cultivated around the town of the same name. It covers just over 300 hectares planted almost exclusively with Pinot Noir grapes, 47% of which are classified as 1er Cru.
The 2.8-hectare Nuits-Saint-Georges “Les Chaboeufs” vineyard overlies shallow, slightly pebbly clay-limestone soil. The grapes for this wine were grown on old vines using specific growing methods such as: high pruning of the vines, limited yields due to severe disbudding, green harvest if needed, growing crop cover between the rows of vines, little or no use of fertilizers, and environmentally friendly pest management that does not harm beneficial wildlife.
It is assumed that the name of this climat was inherited from the name of the former owners of the parcel, the Chabeufs.
Vinification and maturingThe grapes are carefully sorted at the time of harvest and again on the sorting table when they arrive at the winery. They are then 100% de-stemmed but not crushed and placed in vats by gravity. Maceration for 2 weeks in wooden vats. Vinification in wooden vats and ageing in oak barrels for 12 months (35% new barrels).
