RATINGS

90-92Burghound.com

An exuberantly spicy nose offers up notes of plum, violet, purple fruit and a hint of wood toast. The lush and beguilingly textured medium weight flavors possess good concentration and a fleshy palate impression

89-91Stephen Tanzer

Tangy red cherry and raspberry aromas complicated by flowers and spices. In a distinctly cooler style, without quite the depth of the two Nuits premier crus. Black cherry and mineral flavors are joined on the end by pepper and herb notes

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanee, Les Chaumes

Les Chaumes is a 16.1-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Vosne-Romanee appellation of Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. Located on the appellation’s southern boundary, it is just to the west of Aux Malconsorts. The slight slope of the vineyard makes for good drainage, and the soil is a rich mix of clay and alluvial soil.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
