Tasting notes
The Domaine Truchetet Bourgogne Vieilles Vignes Les Chaillots 2019 is an assertive yet undeniably charming expression of Pinot Noir, showcasing the depth and character that old vines can deliver. The nose is perfumed and inviting, with layers of ripe red berries, black cherries, and subtle dark fruit undertones. On the palate, it combines richness with remarkable balance, supported by fine, well-integrated tannins and a lively thread of acidity that brings freshness and lift. The structure is elegant yet substantial, pointing to impressive aging potential for a regional cuvée. A beautifully crafted Bourgogne that overdelivers, offering both immediate pleasure and the promise of further refinement over time.
More About The Winery
Domaine Morgan Truchetet is a small, family-run estate based in Prémeaux-Prissey, just south of Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Côte de Nuits. Morgan Truchetet, alongside his sister Julie, represents the sixth generation of the family and took over the domaine in 2019, bringing a fresh, terroir-focused and low-intervention approach to both vineyard and cellar.
The estate spans around 6 hectares, planted mainly to Pinot Noir with smaller parcels of Chardonnay and Aligoté. The vineyards are located across Bourgogne, Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Côte de Nuits-Villages, and villages including Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis, and Gevrey-Chambertin. Farming follows organic principles, with meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and a strong emphasis on vine health and soil expression.
Winemaking is precise and minimalist, using indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction, and a careful, restrained use of oak to preserve purity and freshness. The wines are known for their elegance, vibrant fruit, and fine tannic structure, reflecting a modern yet classic interpretation of Côte de Nuits terroirs.
