Nuits-Saint-Georges, Les Chaignots, 1er Cru, 2019
Charming, sensual fruit with high-toned summer berries including strawberry, cherry and rose petals. Ripe but lifted with a lovely fragrancy. More power on the palate versus the regular VV but this Chaignots is focused and linear with well-covered, smooth tannins and a core of compact acidity that will see it age well. A Nuits centred on red fruit, from the Vosne side of the appellation. A Nuits Premier Cru vineyard on the Vosne side of the appellation and thus usually one of the silkier and lighter wines of the Chevillon cellar.
critic reviews
Bursting with aromas of rose petals, orange rind, sweet wild berries, spices and dark chocolate, the 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots is medium to full-bodied, lively and perfumed, with powdery tannins and a generous core of succulent fruit.
The 2019 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru has a ripe, very floral bouquet of kirsch and raspberry jam infused with pressed violet, quite opulent and generous. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, very sorbet-like and slightly savory toward the finish, which features brown spices sprinkled over red berry fruit. Fine persistence here, although the oak will require time to assimilate.
