Presentation
Located in Côte de Nuits, the Domaine Chopin Et Fils is a family exploitation that perpetuates Burgundian excellence through several generations. The domain strives to produce authentic wines, respecting the typicity of the terroirs of Comblanchien, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Chambolle-Musigny. The vines are worked in sustainable viticulture, with soil plowing favoring deep rooting and pure expression of Pinot Noir. Vinification is done in open tanks with gentle extractions, and aging in oak barrels, with a measured proportion of new wood, brings complexity and finesse to the wines. The reds of the domain stand out for their elegance and structure, offering aromas of black fruits, spices, and beautiful length in the mouth. A domain to follow for lovers of racy and aging wines.

Tasting
Beautiful dark ruby, clear and bright. The nose reveals fine fruit, lightly spiced with subtle oak. On the palate, notes of cherry and blackcurrant return in a round wine with lovely tannic structure brought by the whole-cluster fermentation. A superb introduction to the treasures of the Côte de Nuits.
Food pairings
An ideal match for grilled or roasted red meats such as beef, lamb, or duck, as well as poultry in sauce. It also pairs beautifully with slow-cooked dishes like boeuf bourguignon, and with aged cheeses such as Comté or Reblochon.
