Appellations and terroirs

Located in Comblanchien, just 5 km south of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Chopin et Fils cultivates a mosaic of terroirs spread across several renowned villages: Comblanchien, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Chambolle-Musigny, and Vougeot. This diversity allows them to produce iconic wines such as Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Petits Vougeot Premier Cru, Damodes, and Murgers Premier Cru. The well-drained clay-limestone soils and the ideal orientation of the plots contribute to the elegance and complexity of the grapes.

Philosophy and History

The family estate draws its strength from five generations of expertise and perseverance. Today, managed by Arnaud and Alban Chopin, it combines rigor and modernity. Arnaud, a trained oenologist, joined the estate in 1997, followed by his brother Alban, who previously worked at the François Frères cooperage, in 2000. Together, they reduced the vineyard area to better control each plot and fully committed to organic viticulture, certified across the entire estate.

Production specifics

The grapes are harvested entirely by hand, allowing for traditional whole-cluster fermentation. This method preserves the finesse of the tannins, the aromatic freshness, and promotes the complexity of the wines. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with extended maceration. The wine is aged for 12 to 14 months in oak barrels (including a portion of new, sustainably sourced oak), followed by 6 to 8 months in terracotta jars. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration, following the lunar calendar for optimal natural stability.

Recognitions

The estate is regularly praised for its structured wines, both profound and precise. Clos de Vougeot impresses with its intensity and length, while the Premier Crus of Nuits-Saint-Georges shine with their mineral freshness and aging potential. The Chopin style is recognizable by the clarity of its aromas, the elegance of its tannic structure, and the authenticity of its single-vineyard expression.

Domaine Chopin et Fils embodies the evolution of family estates towards high-precision viticulture, where respect for the soil, the vegetative cycle, and authenticity takes precedence over volume. Each cuvée thus becomes a faithful reflection of a place and a rigorous work philosophy.
