An Evening With Chantereves

A delicious weight of fruit, red berries with some plums as well, then a lovely spicy and peppery finish, but nonetheless the bones are covered in smooth red fruit. JASPER MORRIS, Inside Burgundy

Aux Chaignots is situated directly under the gravelly Les Damodes on the hillside, and the soils are equally stony, with plenty of fine gravel washed down by in the past by the little river Meuzin. Much like the Domaine's Les Damodes, it's a wine that showcases the elegant, 'Vosne' side of the Nuits-St-Georges spectrum. The vines were planted in the 1990s. Negocé.

Tomoko and Guillaume source most of the fruit (66%) for their Bourgogne Blanc from Maranges in the Côte de Beaune. The balance is from a site at the southern tip of Beaujolais (near Lyon), Les Pierres Dorées. The soil here is comparable to that of Chassagne-Montrachet in that it contains a high content of Bajocian limestone. Negocé
