Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir and Chablis from Burgundy's limestone terroirs.

Francois de Nicolay operates in Côte de Nuits, the heart of Burgundy's Pinot Noir country, where cool continental conditions and limestone-rich soils shape wines of precision and depth. The winery's portfolio centers on the region's classic expressions: a Chablis Grand Cru 'Les Clos' built from Chardonnay, and two Pinot Noir-based bottlings from the Côte de Nuits proper—a Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru and a Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru 'Aux Clous'. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. The Chablis showcases the mineral intensity and aging potential of unoaked Chardonnay from the region's northernmost appellation. The Pinot Noirs reflect the silky tannin structure and red-fruit character typical of their respective terroirs, with the Pernand-Vergelesses and Savigny bottlings offering the mid-weight elegance and food compatibility that define Côte de Nuits reds.
