Situated in the south of the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, the “Climat” of Les Cailles is different from its neighbours, producing an elegant wine. As early as 1892, Danguy and Aubertin classified it as a “tete de cuvee” in their book “Les Grands Vins de Bourgogne”. Bouchard Pere & Fils owns 1.08 hectares of this exceptional “terroir” where the ground is oolithic chalk (chalk composed of ooliths i.e. little balls of the size of fish eggs formed by the concretion of chalk on hard stones).
Intense notes of black fruit blended with oaky touches and delicately spiced. Full and fleshy on the palate, the structure of this wine is based on elegant tannins. Very good ageing potential. Pair with game, venison, meat dishes in sauce.Ageing potential of7 to 10 years and more.
