Location of the estate
Today, Domaine Nicolas covers 18 hectares under integrated farming methods. The vineyard covers the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, Santenay and Saint-Romain appellations. The majority of the Domaine's vines are located in the commune of Nolay; around 16 hectares are situated beneath the cliffs of Cirey-lès-Nolay, benefiting from a good southern exposure. The other two hectares of the estate are located in Santenay "Les Charmes", Santenay Premier Cru "Grand Clos Rousseau" and Saint Romain "En Chevrot".
Domaine wines
Domaine Nicolas produces red wines from Pinot Noir and white wines from Chardonnay and Aligoté. The reds follow the following vinification stages: Sorting of grapes in the vineyard and then in the winery, complete de-stemming, pre-fermentation cold maceration for around 5 days, alcoholic fermentation, pumping over and punching down to extract color and tannins, devatting 15 days after harvest, putting the wines into barrels for around 12 months' ageing, malolactic fermentation, filtration according to vintage, and finally bottling on the estate. For the whites: sorting in the vineyard, direct pressing of the harvest, static cold settling, entonnage and ageing for around 10 months, alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation, barrel blending, filtration and finally estate bottling.
