The wine comes from the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, which is known for producing some of the finest Pinot Noir grapes in the world. The vineyard features steep slopes and a unique soil composition that imparts a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine. The style of the wine is characterized by its intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and earthy notes, with a full-bodied and structured palate that culminates in a long and satisfying finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Domaine Alain Michelot Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Vaucrains' is a complex and beguiling example of this classic Burgundy appellation.On the nose, intense aromas of dark berry fruits, violet, and pepper, mingle with subtle notes of tobacco and earth. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine balance of ripe dark berry fruits, savoury spice, and a hint of smoke. The tannins are firm and well-integrated and the finish is long and persistent. A truly delightful wine, it is one to enjoy now or cellar for a few years.
