    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%
    96+/100

    I chose Chevillon’s 2010 Nuits St. Georges Les St. Georges for our tasting because it is in my view one of the reference points from this site. Today, though, the 2010 is almost impossibly refined, with less overt power than I expected and much more overall finesse. There is no question the St. Georges is exceptionally beautiful, vivid and expressive, but I have to say I am quite surprised by how accessible the wine is with some air. Far from a brute, Chevillon’s 2010 Les St. Georges speaks above all else to a total sense of harmony.
