Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Robert Chevillon, Nuits St Georges, Les Pruliers, 1er Cru, 2014

One of the most mineral Nuits Chevillon makes, the 2014 is typically stoney, tight-knit and powerful but with a fleshy ,ripe forest berry character that makes this ever so slightly less austere than usual. A very smart, balanced wine that has terroir oozing from its pores. With air that typical strictness quickly softens and the wine unfurls into wholesome, mouthwatering Burgundy. Wonderful. One of Nuits' unsung heroes, Les Pruliers is well situated with a gentle slope and a good mix of clay and stones, consistently producing very complete, structured, mineral wine in the typical Nuit mould.

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.
