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
A beautiful deep ruby color. The sumptuous nose reveals layers of spices, black fruits, and a delicate floral touch reminiscent of dried rose petals. On the palate, these notes return with remarkable balance, finesse, and complexity, with aromatic intensity that unfolds gradually during tasting. A very subtle saline note on the finish highlights the harmony of this cuvée. The archetype of a refined, characterful Nuits-Saint-Georges.
Food pairings
A superb wine to accompany exceptional dishes: salt-crusted rib of beef, game terrines (wild boar, venison…), and of course, matured cheeses!
