Nuits Saint Georges "Aux Argillas" Premier Cru 2022

The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges "Aux Argillas" Premier Cru from Philippe Pacalet demonstrates the distinctive character of this premier cru site while showcasing Pacalet's naturalist winemaking philosophy.

The nose is complex and refined, offering ripe red and dark fruits, with black cherries and wild berries predominating, complemented by subtle spice notes and an underlying mineral tension characteristic of the site's clay-rich soils. The aromatic profile captures both the warmth of the 2022 vintage and the natural freshness of the terroir.

On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration while maintaining energy and precision. The texture is sophisticated and well-defined, with fine-grained tannins providing elegant support to the pure fruit core. The clay soils of Aux Argillas contribute to the wine's depth and structure, while Pacalet's minimal intervention approach allows the terroir to speak clearly. The finish is long and detailed, with waves of fruit and mineral notes that continue to unfold.

This wine brilliantly captures both the distinctive character of Aux Argillas and Pacalet's commitment to transparent, terroir-driven winemaking in what proved to be an excellent vintage.
