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 red wine that stands out for its balance and complexity. Its deep ruby color reveals great intensity. The nose offers aromatic richness with ripe red and black fruits such as cherry and blackcurrant, accompanied by spicy and floral nuances. On the palate, this powerful, well-structured wine displays fine tannins and refreshing acidity, allowing the fruit flavors to blend harmoniously with spices and well-integrated oak notes. The finish is long and persistent, marked by lingering fruit and spice.
Food pairings
Robust, flavorful meats such as roast lamb, rib of beef, or duck breast, as well as game. Fabulous with carp in meurette sauce. Also excellent with soft, washed-rind cheeses such as Époisses or Soumaintrain.
