Overview
The 2023 Domaine Jacques Cacheux Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Bas de Combes is a small-production village Burgundy from the Côte de Nuits. Made from Pinot Noir, it reflects the firmer savoury character often associated with Nuits-Saint-Georges, while retaining the Cacheux hallmarks of full destemming, natural fermentation, flavour intensity and textural depth.
Vintage & Winemaking
Domaine Jacques Cacheux works without herbicides, insecticides or anti-rot treatments in the vineyard. In the cellar, grapes are fully destemmed, followed by around one week of cold maceration before fermentation with natural yeasts. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration, preserving texture, depth and site expression.

Tasting Notes
A savoury and classic Nuits-Saint-Georges Pinot Noir, expected to show dark cherry, red plum, earth, spice, forest floor and fine but structured tannins. The wine’s style is characterful and textured, with the firmer profile of Nuits-Saint-Georges balanced by aromatic Pinot Noir detail.
Food Pairing
Pair with roast duck, game birds, pigeon, veal, mushroom dishes, charcuterie, or washed-rind cheeses.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy from the late 2020s, or cellar over the medium term for further savoury complexity and tannin integration.
