Viticulture

The name Chaignots originates from the old French word “Chasne”, which evolved into “chesne” and then “chêne”—the modern French word for oak—combined with the Burgundy suffix “-ot”. It refers to a place where oak trees grow. Located in the northern part of the vineyard within the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, Chaignots faces east and sits at an altitude of 260 to 280 meters. The Domaine’s vineyard covers 1.55 hectares in this area.

Tasting Note

Chaignots produces wines with a deep, sustained colour and a complex, intensely aromatic bouquet. Initial fruity notes gradually develop into soft floral aromas. With age, the wine reveals refined layers of balsamic, venison, musk, and liquorice, creating a subtle and distinguished aromatic profile.

Food Matching

Roast game bird in a rich red wine jus, soft creamy cheese like Époisses, beef meatballs.
