Overview of the Wine
Originally founded by Julien Misserey in 1930, Bernard Chezeaux founded the eponymous estate in 1971. Jerome Chezeaux joined the family winery in 1987 and his daughter, Lyse, has since started working alongside her father.
The estate reigns over 11 hectares of vines, spreading over 16 appellations in the Cote de Nuits, namely Nuits-Saint-Georges, Vosne-Romanee and Vougeot. The estate's Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru red wine boasts a well-balanced, elegant and harmonious whole. The Premier Crus, stemming from Rue de Chaux, Les Pruliers, Les Vaucrains, Les Boudots and Les Chaumes are all exquisitely complex, elegant and aromatic.
The Pinot Noir grapes are harvested by hand and sorted on the vine before undergoing a second sorting on a sorting table. Vinification is carried out over a 15 to 21-day period with regular punching down and pumping over. Fermentation occurs in oak barrels, 30% of which are new. The wine ages for 18 to 24 months in barrel before being bottled and released.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Chezeaux’s holdings of village-level Nuits-Saint-Georges encompass 3.3 hectares spread throughout the appellation, with a significant proportion from the vineyards of Aux Saint Julien and Chaliots. In keeping with the spirit of the underlying terroir, this is wilder in character than the Vosne-Romanée, marked by notes of iron, and with a rambunctious bent to its tannins. Never deficient in fruit, it offers plenty of earth and sous-bois elements as well, all on a driving frame.
