2015 Chevillon Nuits St Georges VV

The 2015 Nuits St Georges, which I tasted from a used barrel, has a lively red cherry and cranberry-scented bouquet with fine transparency. The palate is medium-bodied with almost a candied opening, hints of orange rind infusing the tart cherry fruit, a keen line of acidity with a dash of salinity towards the finish. This is a beautifully crafted village cru. Neil Martin/Wine Advocate 89-91

(this cuvée is mostly from La Charmotte and Au Chouillet, with bits and pieces from Aux Saints Jacques, Les Charmois, Les Maladières, Les Chaliots and Les Brûlées plus a few others too small to mention). An elegant, pure and complex nose consists of notes of plum, earth and background hints of the sauvage. There is really lovely detail to the sleek, delicious and solidly complex and concentrated middle weight flavors that are shaped by ripe tannins on the moderately firm, balanced and lingering finale. This is definitely Nuits in character but it’s an elegant Nuits. Burghound (89-91)/2021+
