A village Nuits-Saint-Georges built from old vines — the domaine's plots average 60 to 80 years, and the heart of this blend goes back to plantings from the first decades of the twentieth century. The name is a bit of local history: 'Nuyts' was how the village spelled itself before the end of the 18th century, when it annexed the name of its best cru, Saint-Georges. Pascale and Clément Chicotot, mother and son, farm seven organic-certified hectares and let the herbs and trees grow up among the vines — once treated as enemies of the vineyard, here treated as allies, right down to the insect hotel on the Rue de Chaux. In the cellar that philosophy means native yeasts, very little new oak and as little handling as possible. The butterfly on the label, drawn for them by an artist, is meant to stand for all the invisible work in the soil, in a stretch of the Côte where gardens and orchards have mostly disappeared. Worth knowing that 2020 was a tiny crop here — Pascale says they made no more than half their usual quantities.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast duck breast with cherries, coq au vin, mushroom and thyme tart, roast squab, or a plate of Époisses and Comté.

Tasting Profile

Dark-fruited and dense for a village wine — black cherry and plum with earth and a savory, herbal edge. Medium to full bodied, fresh acidity, and firm tannins that still stand up a bit in youth. The finish is long and structured; give it air now or a few years in the cellar.
