Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Robert Chevillon, Nuits St Georges, Les St Georges, 1er Cru, 2009

Immensely powerful, bigger framed even than the Vaucrains this year, deep and enormously long, notes of fresh damson, plum and berry with a serious, strict tannic edge that gives this direction, and finishing on complex notes of fruit liqueur, mulled spice, Asian spice and undergrowth characteristics.

ABV:
13.5%
95/100

The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les St. Georges comes across as quite open at this stage, surprisingly so, to be frank. I imagine the wine will begin to close down, but it has not happened yet. An expressive bouquet laced with sweet red cherries, flowers, spices and tar melds into layers of deep, beautifully articulated fruit. The St. Georges shows gorgeous depth and pure delineation on the energetic, expressive finish. It is a dazzling wine, although I have a slight preference for the 2010.

Robert Chevillon

Robert’s two sons, Bertrand and Denis, now look after the winemaking and viticulture respectively. Their vineyards stretch from the far south side of Nuits St-Georges to the very north side next to Vosne-Romanée. All of the wines demonstrate harmony, ripe fruit and structure thanks to both hard work in the vineyard by Denis (who insists on low yields and a strict grape selection) and to a fermentation and barrique elevage carefully controlled by Bertrand. There are no frills or careful secrets here, the crop is destalked, fermented and agedin in a maximum of one third new oak for the top crus. These wines are the product of terroir-knowledge and hard, hands-on, work. It is a great compliment to them both that their wines are so balanced yet still maintain the individuality and character that emanates from their terroir. The vineyards south of Nuits (Pruliers and Vaucrains) tend to have more muscle and drive while those nearer Vosne, such as the Chaignots, verge more on elegance and silkiness.
