Bouchard Pere et Fils Nuits St Georges Cailles 2015

Situated in the south of the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, the "Climat" of Les
Cailles is different from its neighbours, producing an elegant, feminine wine. As
early as 1892, Danguy and Aubertin classified it as a "tête de cuvée" in their book
"Les Grands Vins de Bourgogne". Bouchard Père & 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).
