Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-St-Georges Vieilles Vignes 2018

From steep, rocky, well-drained vineyards with an average age of 85 years. The soils are mainly composed of limestone with 'nuances' of marl and clay. Generously proportioned with significant aging potential.

"The inherent power of the 2018 vintage chez Chevillon is readily apparent from the first wine in the lineup this year, as this is a big, deep and pure example of old vine Nuits AC. The bouquet is ripe and sappy, jumping from the glass in a mix of red and black cherries, venison, chocolate, dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and ripely tannic, with a rock solid core of fruit, fine focus and grip and a long, nascently complex and chewy finish. This will be the first wine to come forward in the stables this year, but I would not touch a bottle until it has seen ten years flow swiftly by." 2028-2055+. - John Gilman
