Nuits St Georges, Les Bousselots, 1er Cru, 2009
Perennially one of the most seductive wines from Chevillon’s cellars, Bousselots is from the Vosne side of the Nuits commune. Focused, silky and powerful, beautifully clear-cut flavours of violet, cherry, plum and sloe, deep, bright and fine-tuned with a wonderfully scented ripe fruit finish. A beauty.
critic reviews
The 2009 Nuits St. Georges Les Bousselots emerges from the glass with beautifully delineated red fruit, anise, licorice and dried flowers. It is a radiant, expressive wine graced with notable delineation and tons of class. The Bousselots comes across as relatively approachable. Layers of exotic fruit on the finish capture the essence of the year. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. My tasting with Denis and Bertrand Chevillon was one of the highlights of my most recent trip to Burgundy. The domaines 2009s are flat-out beautiful. Readers will not want to miss these gems.
