We now turn to Domaine Chicotot's Papillon de Nuys. Made from 85-year-old Pinot Noir vines, cultivated over 1 hectare 16 ares 21 in the heart of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, the "Papillon de Nuys" is the expression of a clay and chalky terroir, vinified with remarkable precision. Punch-downs and pump-overs are conducted as needed, without excessive extraction, to preserve all the natural elegance of the grape variety. The color is deep and dense, with purple highlights, immediately announcing the concentration conferred by century-old vines rooted in the clays of Nuits. The aromatic palette opens with precise, perfectly ripe fruit, and a generous floral bouquet, dominated by peony and violet, completing the initial olfactory sensations. Aeration then releases a beautiful basket of gourmand small red berries like raspberry and redcurrant. An aromatic ensemble characterized by frank and unadorned ripeness, faithful to the identity of Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. The first taste sensation: ample and fleshy. The mid-palate is driven by this clayey texture, a sign of authentic terroir. The elegant and well-integrated tannins testify to a fair and precise vinification, which prioritizes the expression of the site over power. The finish reveals all the juiciness and frank character of Pinot Noir, with a dense yet chalky texture, a recognized signature of Nuits-Saint-Georges. This finish is vibrant, fresh, and persistent. Accessible quite quickly after bottling, the "Papillon de Nuys" already offers the pleasure of a frank and juicy Pinot, without sacrificing its aging potential. It is a wine to share, sincere and generous, which will prove faithful over time and around a table—a wine from Maison Chicotot, true to the expectations of Nuits-Saint-Georges enthusiasts, so specific with its two production zones brought together in this Papillon de Nuys.
