Robert Chevillon
Bourgogne, Rouge, 2010
justerini & brooks tasting note
A frost on the 20th December decimated Chevillon’s Bourgogne vineyard; half the crop was lost thanks to this and the coulure at the beginning of the summer. What a shame, always a high level for a Bourgogne, this is vivid and crisp, juicy and aromatic packed with cherry and raspberry fruit wrapped in sweet, gentle tannins.

The 2010 Bourgogne is a stunning wine for the money. An exotic, ripe bouquet leads to generous fruit in this supple, juicy Bourgogne. Sweet floral and spiced notes follow, adding complexity on the mid-palate and finish. The 2010 possesses remarkable depth at this level as well as a fabulous overall balance. I can't think of a better introduction to the vintage and the wines of this great domaine.
