Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Cailles” Premier Cru 2019
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Cailles” Premier Cru 2019 " A much spicier nose is cooler and more elegant with its beautifully pure and layered mix of both red and blue pinot fruit compote along with perfumed floral nuances. The vibrant and delineated medium-bodied flavors possess a sophisticated mouthfeel while displaying abundant mineral influence on the rich, sappy and focused finale that just goes on and on. This is a knockout and should age and improve effortlessly for the better part of two decades." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Pruliers” Premier Cru 2019
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges "Les Pruliers" 2019, "Interestingly, this possess a similar fruit profile though with decidedly more earth and sauvage characters suffusing it. There is excellent mid-palate density to the powerful and muscular big-bodied flavors that culminate in a powerful, austere and even more serious finale." - Allen Meadows', Burghound
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les St. Georges” Premier Cru 2018
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les St. Georges” Premier Cru 2018, "A deft dollop of oak surrounds the liqueur-like aromas of various dark berries, forest floor, spice and sauvage nuances. There is excellent density to the sappy, textured and distinctly powerful flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that also helps to partially buffer the firm and definitely grippy tannic spine on the slightly drying finish that comes up a bit short. I would make the same observation here as I made with the Les Cailles, which is to say that while this is good, I suspect that the hail damage is preventing this from being at its usual outstanding level."- Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Vaucrains” Premier Cru 2018
"This is at once very fresh and very ripe with its liqueur-like aromas of plum, dark currant and plenty of gamy nuances. This a huge wine with incredible density and power where the abundant dry extract coats the palate and, like the Les St. Georges, partially buffers the extremely firm tannic spine shaping the quite chewy, short and mildly warm bitter pit fruit-inflected finale. I very much like the impressive complexity but the balance, particularly on the finish, isn't at its usual level. This may well age out successfully but make no mistake, it will require the better part of 20 years before we will know for sure.- Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Cailles” Premier Cru 2018
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Cailles” Premier Cru 2018 "The natural refinement of Les Cailles is very much on display with its cool, pure and airy aromas of red and dark pinot fruit along with a lovely range of spice, tea and discreet earth nuances. As is usually the case, this is notably more refinement to the strikingly well-delineated medium-bodied flavors that possess an almost pungent minerality though the finish, while impressively long, is a bit grippy and a touch warm as well. This is still quite good but I fear the hail damage will prevent this from achieving its usual level." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Perrières” Premier Cru 2018
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Perrières” Premier Cru 2018, "This is aromatically quite similar to the Bousselots but where the kirsch character is even more prominent. There is even better volume and richness to the larger-scaled and intense mineral-driven flavors that exude an almost pungent salinity on the very firmly structured and youthfully austere finale. This is excellent but I wouldn't suggest buying it without an express intent to cellar it for at least the mid-term as it will require 15+ years to realize its full potential." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Roncières” Premier Cru 2018
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Roncières” Premier Cru 2018, "Notably ripe yet reasonably fresh liqueur-like aromas are comprised by notes of plum, dark raspberry and cassis along with discreet floral, earth and spice notes. I very much like the sense of tension and vibrancy of the saline, muscular and powerful middle weight plus flavors where the supporting tannins are firm more refined than usual on the velvet-textured finale. This is a very promising 2018 that could actually be approached young even though it clearly has a long life ahead of it." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Chaignots” Premier Cru 2018
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Chaignots” Premier Cru 2018, "Discreet but still discernible wood sets off cool, pure and elegant aromas of various dark berries, plum and a touch of freshly turned earth. There is a lovely sense of refinement to the still sleekly muscular and powerful middle weight flavors that possess a sappy mouthfeel on the ever-so-mildly austere, long and serious finale." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Bousselots” Premier Cru 2018
Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges “Les Bousselots” Premier Cru 2018",This possesses a liqueur-like quality to the softly spicy and earthy cassis, dark berry and kirsch aromas trimmed in plenty of earth character. The suave and sleek medium-bodied flavors flash plenty of muscle along with excellent power before culminating in a youthfully austere finish. This very serious effort will benefit from extended keeping." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
