Charles Lachaux Nuits-Saint-Georges La Petite Charmotte 2022 750ml

100% Pinot Noir from vines planted in the 1960s on the northern side of the Nuits‑Saint‑Georges appellation, just below the Premier Cru “Bousselot”. The grapes were vinified 100% whole cluster with ambient yeasts, no added SO₂, macerated for ~10 days, then aged 50% in used barrels and 50% in ceramic for 12 months.

Bright ruby hue. Aromas of fresh raspberry, cherry and rose petal, with a subtle mineral/chalky undertone. On the palate it’s elegant, medium-bodied, with fine tannins, lively acidity and a persistent, saline-tinged finish.

Pair with herb-roasted game birds, a wild mushroom risotto, seared duck breast or a semi-aged Comté cheese.
