Cyprien Arlaud Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 2020 Bottle (75cl)
The 2020 Cyprien Arlaud Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Chaignots is a red Burgundy made from 100% Pinot Noir, within the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. This Premier Cru comes from a single 0.41-hectare plot located in the north of Nuits-Saint-Georges, planted in 1955 on clay-limestone soils. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted, then vinified in open-top vats with spontaneous fermentations. Aging in oak barrels lasts 15 to 18 months, with a maximum of 20% new oak, prior to bottling without fining or filtration.

Aux Chaignots
Aux Chaignots is a climat officially classified as Premier Cru of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, located in the northern part of the village territory, towards Vosne-Romanée. It occupies the upper part of the slope and benefits from a documented south-east exposure. A source describing the climat as a whole indicates an altitude of 260 to 280 meters and a fairly deep soil dominated by gravel. The slope and detailed geology of the entire climat are not established with sufficient precision in the sources consulted.

Histoire de la parcelle
Aux Chaignots belongs to the group of climats recognized as Premier Cru within the AOC Nuits-Saint-Georges, an appellation created on September 11, 1936. Its name likely preserves the memory of ancient oaks present in this sector, but this interpretation remains debated.
