Domaine Chicotot, Aux St-Juliens, Nuits-St-Georges, Burgundy, France 2022

TOP VALUE This wine surprises with its profoundly dark colour and lovely forward blackberry fruit with hints of violets, earth and spice. It's supple and approachable, with a pronounced sweet black fruit character. The fruit is fermented as whole clusters, with extraction achieved by moistening the cap with a bucket. The result has an arresting fruit concentration for a village-level wine. Drinkable on release. Organic.
