Nuits St Georges Vieilles Vignes Robert Chevillon 2017 (750ML)

88-90 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "A discreet application of wood sets off a beautifully fresh and earthy array of red and dark currant scents. The sleek, vibrant and utterly delicious medium weight flavors exhibit a trace of minerality on the balanced, refreshing and lingering finish. This youthfully austere effort is a relatively refined Nuits villages that should drink reasonably well young." 01/19

90+ Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "The 2017 old vine bottling of Nuits AC is outstanding chez Chevillon, offering up an expressive and very pure bouquet of black cherries, sweet dark berries, raw cocoa, a superb base of dark soil tones, gamebird, woodsmoke and a discreet framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full and nicely sappy at the core, with a soil-driven personality, ripe tannins and excellent focus and grip on the poised, complex and perfectly balanced finish. A superb villages in the making! 2023-2055." 01/19
