critic reviews
The 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Cailles was one of the more reserved wines in the range when I visited, unwinding in the glass with notes of plums, rose petals, sweet berries, orange rind and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with terrific depth and concentration, beautifully refined tannins and lively acids, it's very promising.
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Cailles 1er Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet of dark cherries, violet petals and crushed stone; the oak is seamlessly integrated in this cuvée. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, taut and fresh, leading to a slightly savory finish. Complex and energetic, this is one of the standouts from Chevillon this vintage.
